One of many prints in the series called The Disasters of War which were 82 prints created between 1810 and 1820 (Schikel, 137). These paintings were a protest to the violence between Napolean's army and Spain (Schikel, 138). A bit more context here, please.
Stylistically, this print shows a wolf writing orders on a scroll being assisted by a friar. The two are giving orders to a line of suffering people. This print signifies not only the immense corruption in the church at the time but also the betrayal of the people of Spain. It shows the irony of the church turning away the people that believed in it and helping the enemy. The wolf signifies the turmoil and ruthless government that would not allow a constitution in the people’s favor (Schikel, 140).
Thematically, the friar ignoring the starving and suffering people shows the ruthlessness of the time and the betrayal of the people that were faithful to the church. Also the imagery of a wolf to signify the government also capitalizes the betrayal of the people of Spain. The writing one the scroll that the wolf is holding reads "We retched humanity, the fault is yours", this quote shows the outrage and adversity that the people of Spain felt after the war (Schikel, 140).
