From LinkedCulture
This etching sat hidden for thirty-five years because Goya knew publishing it could cost him his life. Plate 7 from his Disasters of War series, made in Spain around 1810 to 1820, shows a mounted officer in a plumed hat thrusting his arm toward a cluster of cowering figures, while bodies and broken weapons darken the ground beneath the horse. Goya kept the plates private until his death, and when the series finally appeared in 1863, it became one of the most unflinching indictments of war ever put to paper.
