Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 16.7 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 19 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 41.2 × 53.5 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Goya's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 268 × 347 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in Prado Museum, Madrid, Spain. Full size guide.

About the Painting

Before us is one of the most passionate, most moving works of Spanish history painting, the dramatic depiction of a historical event. A dark sky, a desolate, bare hill and a sad city highlight the mood of the painting. The statuesque motionless group of French soldiers has their backs to the viewer. The muzzles of their weapons are mercilessly pointed at the victims. These are not men of character, but ruthless instruments of oppression. Against them bustles the scared to death, restless, agitated group. The dramatic expression of the composition is centered in the protagonist. The muzzles of the guns are pointed at him, he has only a few seconds to live. The white shirt glows dazzlingly, and the warm yellow of his trousers is the painting's vivid spot of colour, which the artist has emphasised with particular skill.
