The 2nd of May 1808 in Madrid (1814) pairs as a public anti-occupation street-fight canvas

In 1814 Goya painted The 2nd of May 1808 in Madrid as the companion of the 3rd of May. Keep 2 May and 3 May as two pictures, both 1814. In the causal graph this event strengthens Humanitarian Access, a driver that strengthens People Internally Displaced by Conflict and Violence (IDMC) — a worsening welfare path.
