About this work

This etching shows a chaotic scene with people tangled in a dark, stormy sky. One person is buried under a horse’s legs, while another clings to its back. Others scramble around, some holding sticks or weapons, all looking panicked. The ground is muddy and uneven, and the sky swirls with thick, chaotic lines. The title *No se convienen* hints this isn’t just chaos—it’s a clash. The artist used sharp, jagged lines to make everything feel urgent and messy. Next, look up etching to see how artists like Goya carved these dramatic lines into metal.
