This sketch shows a chaotic scene of dead bodies scattered on a rocky shore. The figures are tangled together, some half-buried in the rough terrain. The water around them looks rough, with waves crashing against the rocks. The title below, *"Tanto y más"* (meaning "and worse"), hints at a warning about war’s brutality. The artist used quick, dark lines to create a sense of urgency and despair. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used emotion and drama in their work.
