Esta no lo es Menos - Original Etching by Francisco Goya - 1863 1863

Esta no lo es menos is an original artwork realized by the great Spanish artist Francisco Goya in 1810. Original Etching on paper. The artwork belongs to the famous series ''Los Desastres de la Guerra'' realized during the years of the Independence Spanish War and published for the first time in 1863 and representing the horrors and the despair of the War. Numbered on the upper left corner. Etching N. 67. Good conditions; yellowing sheet. A trio of old aristocrats, dressed with the fashion of the eighteenth century, supports an image of which we see the platform and the armor. The procession continues and another character holds a second image. The two virgins represented are those of Soledad and Atocha (in the background). Criticizing this strange devotion, Goya emphasizes the power of the clergy and its reactionary attitude, a continuous source of struggles between the so-called serviles and the liberals.
