"There Was No Remedy" (Spanish: "Y no hay remedio") is a renowned etching by the Spanish painter and printmaker Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created as part of his famous series of 82 prints titled "The Disasters of War" (Los Desastres de la Guerra). Produced between 1810 and 1820, this series is a poignant and critical response to the Peninsular War (1808–1814) and its aftermath. "There Was No Remedy," specifically, is the 15th print in the series and is emblematic of Goya's unflinching portrayal of the atrocities and human suffering that characterized this period.

The etching depicts a scene of execution, where the victim is shown tied to a wooden post, awaiting their fate at the hands of unseen executioners. The title, "There Was No Remedy," suggests a sense of fatalism and inevitability, reflecting the despair and resignation felt by many Spaniards during the relentless and brutal conflict. Goya's use of stark contrasts, with the dark tones and the solitary figure illuminated against a void, enhances the dramatic impact of the image and invites viewers to contemplate the senseless cruelty of war.

Goya's "The Disasters of War" series, including "There Was No Remedy," is considered a groundbreaking work in the genre of war art and remains a powerful historical document. It is noted for its unvarnished realism and its departure from the heroic or romanticized depictions of war that were common at the time. The series was not published until 1863, several decades after Goya's death, due to its politically sensitive content and the artist's bleak vision, which was likely to have been deemed too controversial for the repressive political climate of his day.

"There Was No Remedy" and the rest of "The Disasters of War" prints are held in high regard for their artistic mastery and their enduring influence on the development of both printmaking and socially engaged art. The series can be found in various museum collections around the world, including the Museo del Prado in Madrid, which holds a complete set of the first edition prints.
