[Leica] IMG: La Victoire sur l'Espagne

[Nathan Wajsman]

Sorry, I assumed it was from the Napolenic times.

In any event, I find Goya’s painting one of the most powerful pieces of art anywhere. That, and the works by Hieronymus Bosch, is what keeps me coming back to the Prado whenever I am in Madrid.

Cheers,
Nathan
