The Second of May 1808: Charge of the Mamelukes, 1814. Artist: Francisco Goya
The Second of May 1808: Charge of the Mamelukes, 1814. Commissioned in 1814, after the expulsion of Napoleons army from Spain, Goya portrayed the citizens of Madrid as unknown heroes using crude weapons to attack a professional, occupying army. This did not go down well with the king - the paintings were not hung publicly until many years (and governments) later

The Second of May 1808 - Charge of the Mamelukes, 1814
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a powerful and evocative print by renowned Spanish artist Francisco Goya. Commissioned in 1814 after the expulsion of Napoleon's army from Spain, this artwork depicts a pivotal moment in history when the citizens of Madrid rose up against their oppressors. Goya masterfully portrays ordinary people as unknown heroes, armed with crude weapons and unwavering determination, bravely confronting a professional occupying army. The scene captures the chaos and intensity of street fighting, with horses charging through the crowd and individuals fiercely defending their city. However, this bold depiction did not sit well with King Ferdinand VII at that time. Consequently, these paintings were kept hidden from public view for many years under different governments until they could finally be appreciated for their artistic brilliance and historical significance. The use of vibrant colors adds to the dramatic impact of this artwork. Goya's attention to detail brings every element to life - from the expressions on people's faces to the movement of horses galloping down an avenue strewn with knives. "The Second of May 1808: Charge of the Mamelukes" stands as a testament to Goya's mastery in capturing political turmoil and rebellion through his unique style known as realism. It serves as a reminder that even in times of occupation and oppression, ordinary citizens can rise above adversity to fight for their freedom and rights.
