Estragos de la Guerra. (Ravages of War); Fatales consequencias de la sangrienta guerra en España con Buonaparte. Y otros caprichos enfaticos [Disasters of War], plate 30.

This extraordinary image captures the horror inflicted in Zaragoza, Goya’s native city, by the explosion of a powder magazine. Goya’s radically imaginative conception, with falling bodies and furniture, long predates stop-motion photography. The Disasters of War were not published in Goya’s lifetime, so "working" proofs like this provide valuable testimony about Goya’s original intentions. Unfortunately, a later, prudish collector has partly masked the vulnerable nakedness of the falling woman by adding touches of gray ink on her breast and thighs.
