"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, which also incorporate techniques such as aquatint, drypoint, and engraving, are widely regarded as one of Goya's most profound and harrowing works. The series is a stark and unflinching portrayal of the brutalities and atrocities committed during the Peninsular War (1808-1814), a conflict between Napoleonic France and Spain, which was part of the larger Napoleonic Wars.

Goya, who served as a court painter to the Spanish Crown, was deeply affected by the war and its impact on the Spanish people. "Los Desastres de la Guerra" reflects his personal anguish and moral outrage at the widespread suffering and inhumanity he witnessed. Unlike traditional war art that often glorifies heroic deeds and noble sacrifices, Goya's prints focus on the grim realities of violence, famine, and despair. The images are stark and often gruesome, depicting scenes of torture, execution, and the ravages of war on both soldiers and civilians.

The series is divided into three main thematic groups. The first group (plates 1-47) depicts the horrors of the war itself, including scenes of combat, mutilation, and death. The second group (plates 48-64) illustrates the famine that struck Madrid in 1811-1812, showing the suffering of the civilian population. The final group (plates 65-82) reflects Goya's disillusionment with the post-war political situation in Spain, particularly the restoration of the Bourbon monarchy and the repression that followed.

"Los Desastres de la Guerra" was not published during Goya's lifetime, likely due to its politically sensitive content. The first edition was printed in 1863, 35 years after the artist's death. Today, the series is celebrated for its powerful and unflinching commentary on the human condition and the senselessness of war. Goya's masterful use of etching and aquatint techniques, combined with his keen observational skills and deep empathy, make "Los Desastres de la Guerra" a seminal work in the history of art and a poignant reminder of the horrors of conflict.
