From LinkedCulture
Four soldiers wrench a naked body across the ground, limbs pulled in opposite directions, while a fifth figure watches from behind a tree trunk. Goya etched this scene, plate 33 from his Disasters of War series, in Spain between 1810 and 1813, titling it with a question he wrote in his own hand: What more can one do? He kept the entire series private, almost certainly out of fear, and it was not published until 1863, decades after his death. That silence makes its moral force even harder to ignore.
