Goya's unflinching eye | Review | Guardian Unlimited Books

Goya, a man of the people, found success as a portraitist to the Spanish aristocracy. But, writes Robert Hughes, it was his depictions of war and his pessimistic Black Paintings, reflecting the turbulence of 19th-century Europe and his own experience of madness, that changed art for ever

Goya's Technique
It is not known how Goya learned the complex technique of etching. A publication of 1778 records him as an engraver, and his earliest etchings are thought to have been copies of Velázquez paintings in the royal collection. In making prints, Goyas most commonly used etching or aquatint, or a combination of the two.

Pomona College : Museum of Art - Goya's Etchings - Los Caprichos

First published in 1799, Los Caprichos exposed the vice and corruption that led Spain to be branded as "Black Spain" in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In the 80 etchings that comprise the series, Goya depicted the peasantry's superstitious belief in witchcraft, the arrogance of the nobility, and the widespread corruption of the Catholic Church.

Pomona College : Museum of Art - The Etchings of Francisco De Goya - Los Desastres de la Guerra

Los Desastres de la Guerra
In 1804,Napoleon Bonaparte declared himself Emperor of France; in 1808 he invaded Spain. Sending the royal family into exile, he installed his brother Joseph on the Spanish throne. This action incensed the native populace and precipitated the Spanish War of Independence. Between 1808 and 1813, Spaniards fought a guerrilla war against the greatest army in Europe to free themselves of French domination.

From the beginning of the War until about 1820, Goya worked on the 80 prints he would call Los Desastres de la Guerra (The Disasters of War). Rather than depicting heroic soldiers and scenes of glorious battle, Goya produced stark, sobering images of brutality, slaughter and misery. His images exposed the horror of war, from the ferocity of village fighting (plates 2-27) to the terrible famine that ravaged Madrid in 1811-12, claiming 20,000 lives (plates 48-64). In the "caprichos emphaticos" (plates 65-80) the artist comments on the war's political, religious, and ideological aspects and ramifications. With a stark intensity unprecedented in the history of art, these prints convey the barbarity and futility of war. No one is spared from man's inhumanity toward man, and no death is glorious.
