Loyalist Soldier


The name of this photo is “Loyalist Soldier”. This photo was taken by Robert Capa in the context of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. The photo was taken in Cerro Murillo, Spain and it represents the death of a Spanish soldier and the horror of war. This photo is in black and white products of the period of time as it was taken long time ago.

To take this photo the photographer had to be in the civil war and confront the war and bullets. I like this photo because it shows the real war and history of the world, also it shows that death is near anyone, that’s why we don’t have to not commit the same errors of the past. Finally, I like photography and to take photos of landscapes and buildings as it represents the old life and habits of ours ancestors.
