Based on the original 1863 edition, this presentation of Goya's 80 etchings decries the consequences of war through his bleak, gruesome and unflinching imagery

Following his tenure as court painter for the Spanish royal family, Francisco de Goya's art took on darker subjects and a more expressive style, especially during the Peninsular War (1808–14). Much can be gleaned from the fraught and visceral work of this period, including his series of etchings known as The Disasters of War.

Concerned about the state of the world as much as his own failing health, Goya spent 10 years on what he personally titled Fatal Consequences of Spain's Bloody War with Bonaparte, and Other Emphatic Caprices. Starvation, sickness, looting, assault, torture, execution―each image confronts the shattered lives of everyday soldiers and civilians, accompanied by brief, ambiguous captions such as "Y no hay remedio" ("And there is no remedy") and "Yo lo vi" ("This I saw").

This clothbound book faithfully reproduces the first edition of the complete set of 80 works which was published in 1863, 35 years after Goya's death. It features exquisite printing quality on paper that closely resembles the texture of the original engravings, in a similar format and scale. War is still a condition of human existence today; Goya's etchings are timeless for their vehement denunciation of its atrocities committed by all combatants, regardless of their national affiliations.

Born in Fuendetodos, Spain, Francisco de Goya (1746–1828) trained in Zaragoza and later moved to Madrid. In 1789 he was appointed as a court painter by Charles IV. Considered "the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns," his art blended elements of Romanticism with a deeply personal and often critical vision of society.

本作品集以1863年原版为基础，呈现了戈雅的80幅蚀刻版画。他通过阴郁、可怖且毫不回避的意象，谴责了战争带来的种种后果。

弗朗西斯科·德·戈雅曾担任西班牙王室的宫廷画家，之后他的艺术创作转向了更为黑暗的主题，风格也更具表现力，尤其是在半岛战争（1808–1814年）期间。这一时期他那些充满张力且直击人心的作品，包括名为《战争的灾难》的蚀刻版画系列，都蕴含着丰富的内涵。

出于对世界局势以及自身每况愈下的健康状况的担忧，戈雅花了10年时间创作了这部作品，他亲自将其命名为《西班牙与波拿巴的血腥战争及其他引人注目的怪诞作品的致命后果》。饥荒、疾病、劫掠、袭击、酷刑、处决——每一幅作品都直面普通士兵和平民支离破碎的生活，并配有简短而含义模糊的说明文字，如“Y no hay remedio”（“无计可施”）和“Yo lo vi”（“我亲眼所见”）。

这本布面精装书忠实地复刻了全套80幅作品的首版，该首版于1863年出版，距戈雅去世已有35年。书中采用精湛的印刷工艺，纸张质感与原版版画极为接近，版式和尺寸也与之相仿。时至今日，战争仍是人类社会存在的一种状态；戈雅的蚀刻版画之所以具有永恒的价值，是因为它们强烈谴责了所有参战方犯下的暴行，无论其国籍如何。

弗朗西斯科·德·戈雅（1746–1828年）出生于西班牙的丰德托多斯，在萨拉戈萨接受训练，后移居马德里。1789年，他被卡洛斯四世任命为宫廷画家。他被视为“最后的古典大师，也是第一位现代画家”，其艺术作品融合了浪漫主义元素，同时蕴含着对社会深刻而独特且常带批判的见解。
