1815
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Horrors of War: This Too is a 1815 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This sketch shows a chaotic scene of people in old-fashioned clothes. One person is on the ground, another is falling, and a third stands with arms raised. In the background, more figures rush toward a building. The lines are scratchy and dark, with no color. The title hints this is about war’s brutality. The artist used quick, rough strokes to show panic and movement. Next, look up Romanticism to see how this style often focused on strong emotions.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
