"Los Desastres de la Guerra" (The Disasters of War) is a series of 82 prints created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes between 1810 and 1820. This poignant and harrowing collection is widely regarded as one of Goya's most significant works, capturing the brutal realities of war and its devastating effects on humanity. The series was not published during Goya's lifetime; it was first released in 1863, 35 years after his death, by the Royal Academy of San Fernando.

The prints in "Los Desastres de la Guerra" are divided into three main thematic groups. The first group, created between 1810 and 1814, depicts the horrors of the Peninsular War (1808-1814) between Spain and Napoleonic France. These images are stark and unflinching, portraying scenes of violence, suffering, and death with a raw intensity that challenges the romanticized notions of war prevalent at the time. The second group, produced around 1814-1815, shifts focus to the aftermath of the conflict, illustrating the famine that struck Madrid in 1811-1812 and the resulting human misery. The final group, completed between 1815 and 1820, reflects Goya's disillusionment with the restored Bourbon monarchy and the political repression that followed the war.

Goya's technique in these prints is notable for its expressive use of etching and aquatint, which he employed to create dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. This method enhances the emotional impact of the scenes, emphasizing the stark realities of human suffering. The series is also characterized by its lack of clear narrative or heroic figures, instead presenting an unvarnished and often chaotic vision of war's impact on ordinary people.

"Los Desastres de la Guerra" stands as a powerful anti-war statement and a profound exploration of the human condition. Its influence can be seen in the works of later artists and it continues to resonate as a timeless commentary on the atrocities of conflict and the resilience of the human spirit.
