More about The Third of May 1808
Napoleon, displaying his usual brilliance, had orchestrated things to that he ended up adding Spain to his empire. Some Spanish resisted Bonapartes brother being made king, and an uprising resulted.
The artist, Francisco Goya, was court painter at the time and therefore in a difficult position as hed sworn an oath to the new king, Joseph Bonaparte. While he had admired the French, seeing their soldiers fighting with his Spanish countrymen was wrenching.
After the French were kicked out of Spain in 1814 he approached the new government with the request to commemorate the earlier events, particularly the bravery of those Spanish that had resisted, in this and the companion painting The Second of May 1808.
Both paintings are in the Museo del Prado, Madrid.
