The Disasters of War by Francisco Jose De Goya
Visual indictment of war's horrors, modeled after Spanish insurrection (1808), the resultant Peninsular War and following famine. Miseries of war graphically demonstrated in 83 prints; includes veiled attacks on various people, the Church, and the State. Captions reprinted with new English translations plus the original title page and preface.Francisco Goya (1746-1828), the last of the Old Masters and the first of the Moderns, was a court painter whose portraits of the Spanish royal family are notable for their candor and lack of fawning. Later paintings by Goya took on a darker tone and are seen as forerunners of the Expressionist style.
