Goya made these plates in secret, because what he drew was too honest for anyone in power to want seen. This etching, made in Spain around 1810 to 1820, shows a heap of tangled bodies sprawled beneath a massive dark overhang, limbs slack, more corpses fading into the pale distance. The caption reads "Lo mismo en otras partes," meaning "The same elsewhere." That flat, bitter phrase is the whole argument: this carnage is not an exception, and Goya's stark crosshatching made sure it could not be forgotten.
