"Les Grandes Misères de la Guerre" (The Great Miseries of War) is a series of 18 etchings by French artist Jacques Callot, produced in 1633. The series is widely regarded as Callot's masterwork and represents a seminal contribution to the genre of war art. It offers a harrowing depiction of the impact of the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) on the civilian population and the landscape of Europe, particularly focusing on the atrocities committed by soldiers.

Callot's work is notable for its detailed and unflinching portrayal of the brutality of war, a departure from the glorified depictions of military victories prevalent in art of the time. The series chronicles various aspects of wartime suffering, from the recruitment of troops to the pillaging, execution, and torture of civilians. The etchings also serve as a moral commentary, condemning the inhumanity and senselessness of war.

The technical mastery of Callot is evident in the etchings, which are characterized by their intricate detail, complex compositions, and the use of multiple planes to create depth. His innovative use of the etching medium allowed for a greater range of tonal variation and detail than was previously possible, setting new standards for printmaking.

"Les Grandes Misères de la Guerre" is considered an important historical document, providing insight into the social and political conditions of 17th-century Europe. The series has had a lasting influence on the visual arts and has been referenced by numerous artists and writers in the centuries following its creation. It remains a powerful statement on the human cost of war and a testament to the enduring power of visual art as a medium for social commentary.
