GOYA Y LUCIENTES, Francisco de: Will She Rise Again? (Si reucitaria?)

🖼 Will She Rise Again? (Si reucitaria?), 1810-14
Etching
175 × 220 cm
Madrid, Spain

Shadowy figures surround a prone woman in earthen tones, her body limp against dark ground rendered with urgent, gestural brushwork. Goya's haunting composition questions resurrection and suffering, embodying Romantic despair while critiquing Spain's social collapse during the Peninsular War.
