Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes
The Disasters of War 8, It Always Happens

This painting depicts a cavalryman falling over with his horse, with other cavalrymen galloping behind him, glancing sideways.The words "Siempre sucede" (It's always like this) likely express Goya's despair at the recurrence of such tragedies, that such scenes could happen all the time during war.
