1815
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Horrors of War: What More Can Be Done? is a 1815 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This black-and-white print shows three men in a chaotic scene. One man in a top hat is on his knees, holding a dead soldier’s leg. Another man in a wide-brimmed hat stands nearby, looking down. A third man, also on his knees, seems to be helping—or struggling—with the body. The background is simple: a tree and a faint hill. The title at the bottom asks, *"What more can be done?"* It’s a sharp question for a brutal moment. The artist used bold lines and shading to make the scene feel urgent.

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
