Product Details:

Francisco Goya's The Third of May, 1808 is a powerful oil painting depicting the execution of Spanish civilians by a French firing squad after the Spanish uprising against Napoleon's invasion. It is a poignant and truthful portrayal of war's brutality, contrasting the victims' terror and defiance with the anonymous, mechanical nature of the executioners. The painting is revolutionary for its time, focusing on the victims rather than glorious heroes and showcasing the human cost of conflict. The central figure, with arms outstretched in a Christ-like pose, evokes martyrdom and highlights the injustice of the massacre.
