1812
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Disasters of War: Pl. 58, It is no use shouting is a 1812 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows a chaotic scene by water. Three people stand or kneel near a pile of bodies—some lying still, others half-dragged. One person holds a shovel, another stands wrapped in a cloak, and a third leans over the bodies. The background is dark and rough, like waves or mud. The title at the bottom reads *"No hay que dar voces"*—Spanish for *"It is no use shouting."* This suggests the scene is about helplessness in the face of suffering. Next, check out Romanticism to see how this style often focused on dark, emotional themes.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
