An anti-war masterpiece: Third of May 1808, Francisco de Goya (1814)


Napoleonic troops executing Spanish rebels during the French occupation. The rebels - a Christ-like figure in white; state - faceless mass of soldiers. There’re no heroes there.

Another anti-war manifesto: Guernica by Picasso (1937) 

It’s a response to the 26 April 1937 bombing of Guernica by Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy at the request of the Spanish Nationalists. 

Some details are referencing Goya’s masterpiece (figure of the man in white).
