Monument Obelisk Santiago Ortega

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the solemnity and historical significance of the Monument to May 2. Erected in memory of the uprising that took place on May 2,1808, it stands as a powerful reminder of Spain's fight for independence during the tumultuous times of war. The obelisk, depicted in this engraving from 1870, marks the very spot where General Murat ordered his soldiers to mercilessly shoot countless local people. The image evokes a sense of tragedy and sacrifice as we contemplate the lives lost in pursuit of freedom. Preserved within a private collection belonging to Santiago Ortega, this photograph transports us back to a pivotal moment in Spanish history. It serves as an important testament to the resilience and bravery displayed by those who fought against oppression. The vertical composition adds depth and grandeur to this historic monument while emphasizing its towering presence. The monochromatic palette further enhances its timeless quality, allowing us to connect with past events on a profound level. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, let us remember not only the valor exhibited by these unknown soldiers but also reflect upon our own commitment towards preserving liberty and justice for all. This print serves as both a poignant reminder of our shared heritage and an inspiration for future generations striving for peace and independence.
