Most people know Goya from his work "The Disasters of War (Spanish: Los desastres de la guerra) " being a series of 82 prints created between 1810 and 1820 : https://artfacts.net/exhibition/goya...-sleeps/895569

but also most interesting is a painting called The Second of May 1808, also known as The Charge of the Mamelukes (Spanish: El 2 de mayo de 1808 en Madrid, La lucha con los mamelucos or La carga de los mamelucos)
Created: 1814. Medium: oil on canvas . Dimensions: 8'9" x 11'4" in Museo Nacional del Prado (Prado Museum); Madrid, Spain.

Having been on an exhibition of Dali - Goya , Dali loved and was inspired by Goya, specially his war topics. As a result you can see some influances on Dali's 'The Battle of Tetuan', 1961 .

Enclosed both paintings , some details and 2 studies of Dali

sword handling and dances, just like collecting them.... is mostly male dominated,
but women do also are present...
as these dancing ladies from Asia, through the Arab world to the Balkans clearly show...
