Titled "The Horrors of War: Against the Common Good" this 18th-19th-century etching captures the essence of human suffering and destruction during times of conflict. Goya's masterful craftsmanship is evident in every stroke, as he skillfully portrays scenes that evoke a sense of despair, chaos, and anguish. The composition draws our attention to the countless victims caught in the crossfire - soldiers maimed or killed on battlefields, civilians fleeing their homes in terror, and families torn apart by violence. Through his artistry, Goya seeks to convey a profound message about the futility and devastation caused by war. He challenges us to question its purpose and consequences while highlighting its detrimental impact on society as a whole. By titling it "Against the Common Good". Goya emphasizes how warfare undermines unity, compassion, and progress for humanity. This particular print is part of The Cleveland Museum of Art's collection thanks to Heritage Art/Heritage Images. It serves as a poignant reminder that even though created centuries ago in Spain, these images remain relevant today. They remind us not only of our shared history but also compel us to reflect upon our present actions regarding conflicts around the world.
