"The Execution of Torrijos and his Companions on the Beach at Málaga" (Spanish: "El fusilamiento de Torrijos y sus compañeros en las playas de Málaga") is a significant historical painting by the Spanish artist Antonio Gisbert Pérez, created between 1886 and 1888. The large oil on canvas work, measuring 390 x 601 cm, is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain. It is considered one of Gisbert's masterpieces and a prime example of Spanish history painting of the 19th century.

The painting depicts a poignant moment in Spanish history, the execution of General José María Torrijos y Uriarte and his 48 companions in 1831. Torrijos was a liberal military leader who opposed the absolutist rule of King Ferdinand VII. After a failed insurrection against the monarchy, Torrijos and his followers were captured and executed without trial on the orders of the king. Gisbert's work captures the moment before their execution on the beaches of Málaga, portraying the men as martyrs for the cause of liberty.

Antonio Gisbert Pérez, born in 1834 and deceased in 1901, was a prominent painter and director of the Prado Museum. His work is characterized by its dramatic representation of historical events, and "The Execution of Torrijos and his Companions" is no exception. The painting is noted for its somber and dignified atmosphere, the realistic depiction of the figures, and the use of light to emphasize the tragedy of the scene.

Commissioned by the Spanish state, the painting served not only as a work of art but also as a political statement during a time when Spain was grappling with its own liberal legacy. It stands as a testament to the struggle for democratic ideals in Spain and reflects the broader 19th-century European liberal movements. The work remains an important cultural artifact, symbolizing the fight against oppression and the ultimate sacrifice made by those who dare to challenge tyranny.
