In San Antonio, Texas we have a few historic things that went on, but we don´t have much and show it like Spain does. Spain is proud of the history and when you have a buildings from Hapsburg and Burbon that are still up today from centuries ago; it´s great to look and think about what went on back then. The same goes for the Alamo and the missions, but Spain have more historic buildings, museums, and treasures.
Goya´s painting of the Third of May was not what i pictured but i can understand it relating to the war. In the painting he focuses on one man to stand out and for the others they just blend in dark colors. From my understanding the soldiers have the Spainards surrounded and had killed a few. The Spainards couldn´t go against the French and to me that´s how I see the painting.....to be continued.
