The Execution of the Rebels of the 3rd of May, 1808
The painting is painted by Francisco Goya. This painting uses an element of line to show the characters in the painting. With the use of shading it shows that there is depth and space to the painting. Since there is depth and space in the painting it makes the humans look like they are real and it is a real hillside. The painting also uses many different values to make the painting interesting. You can see that there are both geometric shapes in the box and organic shapes in the the sky.
