Goya. Smart Secrets of Great Paintings
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.
