The Third of May 1808, 1814

Francisco Goya

Oil on canvas · 268 x 347 cm

A man in white throws up his arms before a faceless firing squad.

Goya shows a defenceless man flinging out his arms before a faceless firing squad, a lantern blazing between them. Raw, furious and unheroic, this 1814 image invented modern anti-war painting — a howl against the brutality of occupation.
