Disasters of War: There isn't Time Now is a 1815 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a chaotic street scene with people in old-fashioned clothes. A man in a fur hat raises his sword toward a woman in a dark dress, who’s reaching out to stop him. Others are scattered around—some crouching, one person lying on the ground, and a child hiding. The background is dark and smudged, like a stormy night or a dim alley. The title at the bottom, *"Ya no hay tiempo"* (Spanish for "There isn’t time now"), hints at urgency or violence. Goya often used prints to show harsh realities, not just pretty scenes. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used drama and emotion in their work.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
