The Third of May 1808 (1814)
Francisco Goya | Romanticism | Oil on canvas
This dramatic painting shows Spanish people facing a firing squad of French soldiers, the morning after Madrid rose up against the invading army. The man in white with his arms raised became a symbol of courage!
Did you know? Goya painted this 6 years after the event happened - he wanted to make sure Spain never forgot what happened!
