"The Third of May 1808" is a celebrated painting by Spanish artist Francisco de Goya, completed in 1814. The full title of the work is "The Third of May 1808 in Madrid: The Executions on Principe Pio Hill," and it depicts the aftermath of the popular uprising in Madrid against the occupying French forces of Napoleon. This event occurred during the Peninsular War, and the painting is a poignant representation of the brutal repression that followed the insurrection.

Goya's masterpiece is renowned for its emotive portrayal of the execution of Spanish patriots by a French firing squad. The painting is often hailed for its dramatic use of lighting, composition, and color to convey the horror and injustice of war. The central figure, a man with outstretched arms, has become an iconic symbol of the innocent victim of political oppression and violence. His white shirt and illuminated figure starkly contrast with the dark and anonymous French soldiers, who are shown as a faceless and mechanical force of execution.

The painting measures 268 cm × 347 cm (105 in × 137 in) and is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid. It is considered one of the first paintings to depict the horrors of war and has been described as a monumental work of art that holds a significant place in both Spanish culture and the broader history of Western art. "The Third of May 1808" is often paired with its companion piece, "The Second of May 1808," which portrays the uprising itself. Together, these works serve as powerful statements against the atrocities of war and the abuse of power.

Goya's innovative approach to the subject matter, which includes a stark departure from the heroic depictions of war common in earlier art, has led to "The Third of May 1808" being considered a precursor to modernist painting and a seminal work in the development of Romanticism. Its influence can be seen in the works of many later artists, who have drawn inspiration from Goya's candid portrayal of violence and his empathetic representation of human suffering.
