Because of the situation in which I don’t know if and when I can fulfil my plans of presentation of my fantasies on our forum, I decided to show the picture which is important for my imaginations here (not sure if it is right thread – but which could be right? – if someone od our staff thinks there is a better place - please move this message over there).
I was taken over or overwhelmed in some special way by terrible graphic of F.Goya, Disasters of War No.39 (1810-1820), maybe form my early years – what become in some special variant a very important fantasy for me, what I tried to show it in some way via this forum in the past. But in a very limited way, planning to develop it into larger story, with assumption to show it here in my thread.
It failed, maybe someday .. if …
This here is new version of original original graphic (two pictures, don’t know which is better) – what happened there in Spain, in in the nineteenth century … to terrify ordinary people, show power over them, suppress any rebellion and think about rebellion. Show that they mean nothing, humiliate them in front of others like them, even their loved ones. What better way?
The painting after pacification? the inhabitants of some town?, maybe they helped the rebels? ... burn the town, kill all the men? maybe just all the suspects? ..
It is horrible, horrible! ... I do not agree with it with all my strength ...
The youngest of the executed men on picture is still alive, maybe was hanged not long ago. Maybe he was taken from the road, as random person. This empty branch on that broken tree was as if waiting for him … the soldiers had taken him, as next one of "bandits", "rebels", "he will fit in there with the rest" … this lad means nothing to them ….
It is horrible ... I do not agree with it …
Maybe somebody know how long will hang on hands this man to death? (from a medical point of view)
The bodies on new picture are not castrated (as on original).
If somebody is interested - you can feel free to show this new version of F. Goya picture outside of this forum. But without additional changes.
if someone is embarrassed or scandalized by this image - sorry for that
