Goya's *Los Desastres de la Guerra* is the moment European print art became journalism — 82 etchings made in secret between 1810 and 1820, in raw response to Napoleon's invasion of Spain, too brutal to publish in the artist's lifetime. The aesthetic is monastic: a single etched plate, sepia line, aquatint shadow, one terse handwritten caption beneath. This system translates that discipline to the screen — cream wove paper as the ground, warm umber-sepia for every line, deep aquatint pools for emphasis, and italic Spanish-flavored captions instead of decoration. No gilding, no allegory, no cheer. Just the act itself, captioned with cold honesty.
