The Horrors of War: An Heroic Feat! With Dead Men!

Francisco de Goya

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white etching on a white background. A man carries another man on his back. The carried man has one leg raised in the air and his head falls to the right. The carrier's head is lowered with a grimace as he struggles. Another man stands to their right with a weapon slung on his shoulder and the head of another dead body is visible on the ground on the left side. A small tree grows from a small hill on the left side. The text under the etching reads, "Grande hazaña! Con muertos!" The etching is on a larger piece of paper with an off-white color.
