"Los Desastres de la Guerra" (The Disasters of War) is a series of 82 prints created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes between 1810 and 1820. These etchings, aquatints, and drypoints are widely regarded as some of Goya's most powerful and haunting works, capturing the brutal realities of war and its aftermath. The series was not published until 1863, 35 years after Goya's death, due to its graphic content and politically sensitive subject matter.

The prints are divided into three thematic groups. The first group (plates 1-47) depicts the horrors of the Peninsular War (1808-1814) between Spain and Napoleonic France, showcasing scenes of violence, famine, and suffering. Goya's unflinching portrayal of the atrocities committed by both French and Spanish forces serves as a stark condemnation of the brutality of war. The second group (plates 48-64) focuses on the resulting famine that struck Madrid between 1811 and 1812, highlighting the dire consequences of the conflict on the civilian population. The final group (plates 65-82) reflects Goya's disillusionment with the restored Bourbon monarchy and the repressive political climate in Spain following the war.

Goya's innovative use of etching and aquatint techniques allowed him to create dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, enhancing the emotional impact of the scenes. His work in "Los Desastres de la Guerra" is characterized by a stark realism and a deep empathy for the suffering of individuals, transcending the specific historical context to convey a universal message about the horrors of war and the resilience of the human spirit.

The series is considered a precursor to modern war photography and has influenced countless artists and thinkers. It remains a powerful testament to Goya's skill as an artist and his commitment to bearing witness to the darkest aspects of human experience.
