1815
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
The Horrors of War: What Madness! is a 1815 by Francisco Goya, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This etching shows two men in a dim, chaotic space. One is slumped over, half-dead or passed out, with a basket of food nearby. The other man leans over him, holding a lantern that barely lights the scene. The background is dark and messy, like a battlefield or a ruined room. The title *What Madness!* hints at the chaos of war. The artist used deep shadows and rough lines to make the scene feel urgent and unsettling. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and dark to create drama.
Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (; Spanish: ; 30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker.
