Image description

The two-month siege of Saragossa in 1808, when the local guerrilla leader Don José de Palafox y Melci led heroic, ill-equipped citizens to victory, had been commemorated in poetry and prose, most notably by Byron in Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (canto I, 54-9). Here Agostina Zaragoza (the 'Maid of Saragossa') lights the fuse in the cannon which Palafox, dressed as a volunteer, directs with Father Consolaçion, an Augustinian friar.
