1815
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Horrors of War: The Healthy and the Sick is a 1815 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows four people in a dim, rainy setting. One person is lying on a stretcher, wrapped in a blanket, while another stands nearby holding a lantern. A third person sits on the ground, looking up, and a fourth leans over the sick person, maybe helping. The background is dark and blurry, with heavy rain falling. The title says "The Healthy and the Sick," hinting this is about war’s toll. The artist used strong contrasts between light and dark to make the scene feel tense. Look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
