EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the intense and chaotic scene of "El dos de Mayo (May 2) or The charge of the Mamluk" painted by Francisco Goya y Lucientes in 1814. This historical artwork depicts the revolt against Joseph Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon I, that took place in Madrid on May 2nd, 1808. In this powerful composition, Goya portrays a moment of resistance and defiance as Spanish civilians confront French soldiers on horseback. The artist's masterful use of oil on canvas brings to life the energy and tension of the battle. The charging horses with their riders create a sense of movement and urgency, while the expressive brushstrokes convey raw emotion. Goya's painting serves as a testament to Spain's fight for independence during the Napoleonic Wars. It symbolizes both the bravery and suffering endured by ordinary people in their struggle against foreign invasion. Through his artistry, Goya immortalizes this significant event in history, reminding us of our collective past and its impact on shaping our present. This print by Luisa Ricciarini allows viewers to appreciate Goya's masterpiece from afar. Its vibrant colors and intricate details transport us back to that fateful day in Madrid over two centuries ago. As we gaze upon this work, we are reminded not only of Spain's rich heritage but also of humanity's enduring spirit in times of adversity.
