EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image, titled "That Is Not To Be Looked At: innocent victims amongst the Spanish population during the Peninsular War," is a poignant masterpiece by the renowned Spanish painter Francisco Goya. Created circa 1808, during the height of the Peninsular War, this work captures the raw emotion and devastation wrought upon the Spanish people. Goya, known for his unflinching portrayal of reality, depicts a group of innocent civilians huddled together in prayer, their faces etched with fear and despair. The scene is set against a backdrop of chaos and destruction, with the ominous presence of soldiers and the ominous clouds of war looming in the distance. The title of the painting, "That Is Not To Be Looked At," serves as a stark reminder of the horrors of war and the innocent lives that are often caught in its crossfire. The people in the painting, with their hands raised in supplication, are a testament to the resilience and faith of the Spanish people during this tumultuous time. The Peninsular War, which lasted from 1808 to 1814, saw Spain fight against French occupation, with the British and Portuguese forces supporting the Spanish cause. The conflict resulted in widespread devastation, with countless lives lost and communities destroyed. This powerful work by Goya is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring spirit of those who bear witness to its horrors. It is a testament to Goya's unwavering commitment to truth and his ability to capture the raw emotion and complexity of human experience.
