El dos de mayo - 1814
Description
This is one of Goya's most famous works. A symbol of national independence and identity to the Spanish, it is a tribute to peoples who fight for their freedom.
It depicts the Spanish patriots being charged by the Mamelukes - Egyptian mercenaries in the pay of the French army - and eloquently illustrates the shock of the onslaught and the bloody repression of the uprising by the occupier.
