1815
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Horrors of War: He Deserved It is a 1815 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows four men in a chaotic, violent scene. One man is on the ground, being stabbed by another who holds a spear. The other two men stand nearby, watching or holding weapons. The background is dark and messy, like a battlefield or a fight in rough terrain. The title hints this is about punishment or revenge. The artist used quick, rough lines to show movement and emotion, making it feel urgent and raw. Next, look up Romanticism to see how this fits into that art movement.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
