"Que Sacrificio!" (What a Sacrifice!) is one of the 82 etchings that comprise Francisco de Goya y Lucientes' series "Los Desastres de la Guerra" (The Disasters of War). Created between 1810 and 1820, this series is a harrowing visual commentary on the brutalities and human suffering caused by the Peninsular War (1808-1814) between Spain and Napoleonic France. Goya, a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker, is renowned for his profound ability to capture the darker aspects of human nature and societal turmoil, and "Que Sacrificio!" is no exception.

The etching depicts a poignant scene of human suffering and sacrifice, characteristic of Goya's unflinching portrayal of the atrocities of war. In "Que Sacrificio!", Goya employs his masterful etching techniques to convey the raw emotion and despair of the subjects. The composition is stark and dramatic, with a focus on the central figures, who are often interpreted as victims of the war's relentless violence. The title itself, "What a Sacrifice!", underscores the theme of human cost and the senselessness of the suffering depicted.

Goya's "Los Desastres de la Guerra" series, including "Que Sacrificio!", was not published until 1863, long after his death, due to its politically sensitive content. The series is now considered a seminal work in the history of art, offering a powerful critique of war and its devastating impact on humanity. Goya's work in this series is noted for its innovative use of etching and aquatint, which allowed him to achieve a wide range of tonal effects and intricate details, enhancing the emotional intensity of the scenes.

"Que Sacrificio!" stands as a testament to Goya's skill as an artist and his deep empathy for the suffering of his fellow human beings. It remains a poignant reminder of the horrors of war and the enduring power of art to bear witness to human suffering.
