Picture of the day

The Second of May 1808, also known as The Charge of the Mamelukes, is a painting by Francisco de Goya. It was completed in 1814, two months before its companion work The Third of May 1808. The painting depicts a scene during the Dos de Mayo Uprising, at the Calle de Alcalá near Puerta del Sol, that sparked the Peninsular War.Painting: Francisco de Goya

Reorganizing sections

The 'Background' section seems too detailed, too fast, too much in the weeds without mentioning the painting at all. At the very least, the 'Painting' section ought to come first, and so I am re-arranging the page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dcfleck (talk • contribs) 00:21, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
