1815
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Horrors of War: They Don't Like It is a 1815 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows three people in a chaotic scene. A man in a cloak is swinging a sword at a woman who’s holding a child close. The background has a building and a tree, but the focus is on the struggle. Everything is drawn in strong black lines with little shading. The title hints this is about war’s brutality. The artist used quick, sharp lines to show tension and movement, almost like a sketch. Next, look up 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.
