"This is worse" (Spanish: "Esto es peor") is an etching by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created as part of his series "The Disasters of War" (Los Desastres de la Guerra). The series, consisting of 82 prints, was produced between 1810 and 1820, though it was not published until 1863, many years after Goya's death. "This is worse" is one of the most harrowing images in the collection, depicting the brutal realities and inhumanity of war.

The etching portrays a horrific scene of a mutilated body impaled on a tree, a stark representation of the atrocities committed during the Peninsular War (1808-1814) between Napoleonic France and Spain. Goya's work in this series is characterized by its raw and unflinching portrayal of the suffering and chaos brought about by conflict. Unlike traditional war art that often glorifies heroism and valor, Goya's "The Disasters of War" series, and "This is worse" in particular, focuses on the grotesque and tragic consequences of violence.

Goya's technique in "This is worse" combines etching with drypoint, allowing for a high level of detail and a dramatic contrast between light and shadow. The stark imagery and the title itself suggest a commentary on the escalating nature of violence and the depths of human cruelty. The work is devoid of any glorification, instead presenting a sobering reflection on the cost of war.

"This is worse" and the other prints in "The Disasters of War" series were not intended for immediate public consumption, likely due to their graphic content and the political implications of their subject matter. Today, they are considered some of Goya's most important works, offering a powerful and timeless critique of the horrors of war and the suffering it inflicts on humanity.
