Question

Which artist after the May 3 incident became obsessed with depicting human suffering in his art

Answer 1

After the May 3 incident, Francisco Goya became deeply focused on depicting human suffering in his art. The incident refers to the events surrounding the Napoleonic invasions of Spain, particularly the events of May 2 and 3, 1808, in Madrid, where a violent uprising against French occupation occurred. Goya's works, particularly the painting "The Third of May 1808," powerfully capture the horrors of war, the pain of suffering, and the brutality of the conflict. This event profoundly influenced his later works and led to a more somber and dark thematic approach in his art.
