The Horrors of War: They Escape Through the Flames

Francisco de Goya

Cleveland Museum of Art

Black and white print of a chaotic scene. A group of people are running, some on fire, amidst flames and smoke. The people are dressed in 19th-century clothing. A woman in a long dress is prominent on the right, with her arms raised. Some figures are bent over or falling. The background is dark and filled with smoke and flames. The print has a white border around it, and there is a small number in the top-left corner of the border. The text below the print appears to be in Spanish. The overall mood is one of panic and desperation.
