EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative etching by Vicente Palmaroli captures a poignant scene from the Peninsular War (1808-1814), specifically the events that unfolded in Madrid on the 3rd of May, 1808. The image depicts a group of people gathered around a mass grave at La Moncloa, a site where the bodies of those killed during the initial stages of the siege of the city were being interred. The women in the foreground, dressed in white, are seen weeping and praying over the freshly buried remains of their loved ones. The etching masterfully conveys the raw emotion and grief of the moment, as well as the sense of community and solidarity among the people in the face of such devastation. The drawing, which is now housed in the Museo de Historia in Madrid, is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
