Goya Correction

[Greg Nowell]

Submitted by an LBOer:
I think Greg Nowell was referring to Goya's painting,
Dos de Mayo
which depicted the Madrid revolt against Napoleon's
'liberation' army
take over of Spain. The next is, Tres de Mayo, the
eight and half by
twelve foot canvas depicts the firing squads at night
executing
prisoners taken the previous day. But later, the second
of
May also became the traditional celebration day for the
first republic.

Nowell:

Yes, I had the country right, and the title wrong.
