Death of a Spanish militiaman

This scene represents Robert Capa´s famous photography, one of the images most known of the SCE. The image is taken on September 5, 1936 in Espejo, Cordoba.

Following its publication, the photograph was acclaimed as one of the greatest ever taken, but since the 1970s, there have been significant doubts about its authenticity due to its location, the identity of its subject, and the discovery of staged photographs taken at the same time and place.
