Fusilamientos del 3 de Mayo (A Goya)

From the Series Gods will or the madness of man, and as in other works there are many references to classics from different times. Works that have impressed me greatly that have stayed permanently in my back mind. Getting into one of my obsessions: the main figure of Goya's big painting "Los fusilamientos del 3 de mayo" in which the painter wanted to commemorate the Spanish resistance in front of the French army during the occupation of 1808. Powerful painting where the central figure is a man with a white shirt waiting to be executed by the French army. He doesn't look scared as the other prisoners; he looks ready, defiant and secure ready to embrace dead.
The energy of the figure is impressive and in my desires was to take him out of the painting as perfectly alone could embrace dead. Clearly is so inviting his gesture that, if not from where it was taken, he could be receiving with joy whatever the viewer can imagine, Even that still, with the shirt half open he is eternally inviting dead to come.
