"What courage!" (Spanish: "¡Qué valor!") is an etching created by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, part of his celebrated series "The Disasters of War" (Los Desastres de la Guerra). This series, consisting of 82 prints, was produced between 1810 and 1820 and is a powerful commentary on the brutality and suffering caused by the Peninsular War (1808-1814) between Spain and Napoleonic France. Goya's works in this series are noted for their stark realism and unflinching portrayal of the horrors of war, deviating from the glorified depictions common in his time.

"What courage!" specifically captures a moment of heroism amidst the chaos of conflict. The etching depicts a woman, often identified as Agustina de Aragón, a Spanish heroine who famously defended Zaragoza against the French forces. In the image, she is shown firing a cannon, an act of bravery that became legendary and symbolized the fierce resistance of the Spanish people. Goya’s portrayal emphasizes the woman's determination and valor, highlighting her as a beacon of courage in the face of overwhelming adversity.

The composition of "What courage!" is marked by Goya's masterful use of light and shadow, which adds a dramatic intensity to the scene. The detailed rendering of the figures and the chaotic environment underscores the tension and urgency of the moment. Goya's technique in etching, combined with his keen observation of human emotion and behavior, brings a poignant realism to the work.

As with many pieces in "The Disasters of War," "What courage!" serves not only as a historical document but also as a timeless reflection on the human condition. Goya's work continues to resonate with contemporary audiences, offering a powerful reminder of the resilience and bravery that can emerge in the darkest of times.
