Description
Plate 32: A man, strung from tree, being garrotted by three soldiers, from Disasters of War. Francisco Goya (1746-1828) c.1810-12. Goya made no prints for a decade after the publication of the Caprichos, but during the war against the French invaders between 1808 and 1814 (known outside of Spain as the Peninsular Wars), Goya turned again to etching to create pessimistic images castigating human stupidity and the horrors that some men inflicted on others. Only one of the eighty Disasters of War prints the one depicting a young woman in a white dress firing a cannon records a heroic action; the rest show atrocities or suffering, such as that incurred by the widespread famine toward the end of the war. These were not published until 1863, thirty-five years after Goya s death. Book is not included in this auction - reference only. SIZE: 13 1/8" x 9 5/8". ~~ DEAR BIDDERS, Please View More Detailed Close-Up Images by visiting our website - Sofedesignauctions.com ~ Thank you ! ~~~~~~.
