Goya had some pretty radical cartoon type paintings of war.

Thanks for posting. I learned something.
Goya is usually portrayed as some great opponent of the French invaders and propagandist for Spanish freedom.
Turns out his anti-war works were conveniently created after the war. During the war he was what in WWII would have been called a collaborator.

Thanks .
I like both versions of "Maja", in case anyone asks.
Just adding to the catalog, not sending a general distribution.
To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. |

I read many artists would do this to save money rather than using a new canvas. It makes you wonder how many hidden masterpieces there might be out there, hidden by the masterpiece shown?
