The picture is called “falling soldier” (muerte de un miliciano)
I chose this picture because it’s the most famous picture about Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and represents clearly the horrors of the war. Thus, the picture worldwide showed the Spanish conflict.
The picture represents Federico Borell who was nicknamed “El Taino” .He is falling dead in Cerro Muriano (Córdoba) in September 5, of 1936. Federico was a Spanish anarchist who fought in the CNT militia from Alcoi (Alicante) to defend the Spanish Republic against the Spanish Nationalist forces of Francisco Franco.
Federico arrived Cerro Muriano a few hours before with fifty people more to reinforce the militia. That afternoon, some enemy troops infiltrated behind the lines and fired the militia from behind. Then Federico was shot and died.
The picture was taken by Robert Capa, a famous war reporter, and was published in September 23, of 1936 in the French journal “Vu”.
