The Second of May 1808 is a companion to the painting The Third of May 1808 and is set in the Calle de Alcalá near Puerta del Sol, Madrid, during the Dos de Mayo Uprising. It depicts one of the many people's rebellions against the French occupation of Spain, that sparked the Peninsular War. Both paintings were completed in a two-month time frame in 1814. Today they are displayed in Madrid's Museo del Prado.
