Answer 1

Both Goya’s "The Third of May 1808" and Delacroix’s "Liberty Leading the People" depict the theme of revolution, illustrating the struggle against oppression and the fight for freedom. However, while Goya focuses on the brutal aftermath of a massacre with a somber and grim atmosphere, Delacroix celebrates a more heroic and idealized vision of liberty and revolution, showcasing a triumphant figure leading the people.
