 Goya was a soulful and intense artist that created art in many mediums and despite his own physical and mental health issues, continued painting up until his death in  Some of his later works were considered very dark and may have reflected his own mental state. Some of his later paintings, like, “Los disastres de la guerra” are rather dark.  Turn to your shoulder partner and before seeing it, what do you think “Los disastres de la guerra” means?
