From about 1810 Goya etched Los Desastres de la Guerra.
Context
As required: separate production from later publication. Split 1863 delay/access.
Francisco Goya’s documented role is bounded by other offices and collaborators named in the sources below.
Production c. 1810–1820, not 1863 publication. Plates document occupation violence, famine, and aftermath. Making an anti-war file even unpublished is a humanitarian instrument with limited contemporary public; 1863 is the later door.
Why it matters
1810 is not 1863.
