The Disasters of War (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258929817)

The Disasters of War is a collection of 80 etchings created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya between 1810 and 1820. The etchings depict the horrors of the Peninsular War, which took place in Spain from 1808 to 1814, as well as the subsequent famine and political upheaval. The images are graphic and often disturbing, showing scenes of violence, torture, and death. The etchings were not published during Goya's lifetime, but were later printed in 1863, long after his death. The Disasters of War is considered one of the most powerful anti-war statements in the history of art, and is a testament to Goya's skill as both an artist and a social commentator.This is a new release of the original 1956 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
