1815
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Horrors of War: Truth Has Died is a 1815 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows a chaotic crowd around a dead body on the ground. The figures are messy and rough, some pointing or reaching out, while others look away. One person kneels beside the body, and the scene feels dark and tense. The title hints this might be about war’s cruelty. The artist used bold lines and shadows to make the scene feel urgent and real. Check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark for drama.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
