"The Colossus" (also known as "El Coloso" or "The Giant"), is a painting traditionally attributed to the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746–1828), although its authorship has been debated. Created between 1808 and 1812, this work is often interpreted as an allegory of the Peninsular War, which took place during this period when Spain was under the turmoil of Napoleon's invasion and the subsequent war of independence.

The painting depicts a giant towering over a dark and chaotic landscape, where tiny figures of humans and animals flee in terror. The giant, positioned in the background, is shrouded in a mysterious atmosphere, with its torso and arms silhouetted against a glowing sky. The landscape below is fraught with scenes of destruction and panic, reflecting the widespread fear and suffering caused by the war.

"The Colossus" is characterized by its dramatic expression of emotion and its powerful use of imagery, which is typical of Goya's style during his middle period. The work is part of a series of paintings that deal with the French invasion, including the famous "The Second of May 1808" and "The Third of May 1808."

For many years, "The Colossus" was considered an authentic work by Goya and was included in the catalog of his works. However, in 2008, the Prado Museum, which houses the painting, announced that it might not have been painted by Goya himself but rather by one of his disciples, possibly Asensio Juliá. This claim has led to ongoing scholarly debate, and the painting's attribution remains uncertain.

Despite the controversy over its authorship, "The Colossus" remains an important work in the study of Goya's art and the history of Spanish painting. It continues to captivate audiences with its enigmatic portrayal of power, fear, and the human condition during times of crisis. The painting is held in high regard for its emotional impact and its representation of the turmoil of war, which resonates with universal themes of struggle and resilience.
