"And Still They Don't Go!" (Spanish: "Y no hay remedio") is one of the 82 etchings that comprise Francisco de Goya y Lucientes' renowned series "The Disasters of War" (Los Desastres de la Guerra). Created between 1810 and 1820, these etchings are a harrowing visual commentary on the brutalities and inhumanities of the Peninsular War (1808-1814), which saw Spanish forces and civilians clashing with the invading Napoleonic troops. Goya, who lived through the war, used his art to document the atrocities and the profound suffering experienced by individuals on all sides of the conflict.

"And Still They Don't Go!" is particularly notable for its stark and unflinching portrayal of the consequences of war. The etching depicts a scene of execution by firing squad, with a central figure bound to a wooden post, blindfolded, and lifeless, surrounded by the bodies of other executed individuals. The title itself, "And Still They Don't Go!", underscores the relentless and unending nature of violence and death, suggesting a cycle of brutality that persists despite the apparent futility of such actions.

Goya's technique in this etching, as in others in the series, combines etching, drypoint, and aquatint, allowing for a range of tonalities and textures that enhance the emotional impact of the scene. The stark contrasts between light and shadow, the meticulous detailing of the figures, and the overall composition work together to evoke a powerful sense of despair and horror.

"The Disasters of War" series was not published during Goya's lifetime, likely due to its politically sensitive content. It was only in 1863, 35 years after Goya's death, that the series was first published. Since then, "And Still They Don't Go!" and the other etchings in the series have been widely studied and acclaimed for their artistic mastery and their profound commentary on the human condition in times of conflict. Goya's work remains a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of war and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable suffering.
