Twee mannen dragen het lichaam van een gevallene

From LinkedCulture

Two men buckle under the weight of a limp, dangling body, hauling it toward a dark wall while more corpses lie scattered in the background. This etching and aquatint is plate 56 from Francisco de Goya's "Disasters of War," made between 1810 and 1820 as the Peninsular War raged around him. Goya never published the series, considering it too politically dangerous, so the world only saw these images decades after his death. That delay makes them no less devastating.
