"What One Does to Another" is an evocative etching by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created as part of his influential series "The Disasters of War" (Los Desastres de la Guerra). This series, consisting of 82 prints, was produced between 1810 and 1820, though it was not published until 1863, many years after Goya's death. The etchings are a powerful commentary on the brutality and inhumanity of war, specifically reflecting the horrors of the Peninsular War (1808-1814) between Napoleonic France and Spain.

In "What One Does to Another," Goya employs his masterful technique in etching and aquatint to depict a scene of profound violence and suffering. The composition is stark and unflinching, capturing the raw emotions and physical toll of conflict. Goya's use of chiaroscuro—contrasting light and dark areas—enhances the dramatic intensity of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures and their harrowing plight.

The title itself, "What One Does to Another," underscores the universal and timeless nature of human cruelty and the cyclical nature of violence. Goya's work transcends the specific historical context of the Peninsular War, offering a broader critique of the senselessness and devastation wrought by human conflict. His ability to convey deep empathy and moral outrage through his art has cemented his legacy as a pivotal figure in the history of Western art.

Goya's "The Disasters of War" series, including "What One Does to Another," remains a poignant and powerful testament to the artist's vision and his commitment to bearing witness to the darkest aspects of human nature. The series continues to resonate with contemporary audiences, serving as a stark reminder of the enduring impact of war and the importance of compassion and humanity in the face of suffering.
