From the outset the project Goya was born from the enthusiasm of a group of
people motivated by their love of history and work of Francisco de Goya y
Lucientes. Also, as fans modeling and wargame, we had the need to launch this
exciting project not only to perform a tribute to Francisco de Goya, also
fascinated by the complexity of the events arising from the Napoleonic invasion
of Spain, a stage that touched him live and report on their work, but also
unite these concepts so different in a project: painting, history, modeling and
wargame.
Painting as an expression of an image, projected the ideal of the painter,
totally subjective to a fact at issue: the shooting; also it served only two
physical dimensions and the third part of the same pictorial fact. The third
dimension is an illusion created by the painter. In a box we can only see what
the painter wants to teach us ... But we can rebel and think: What would happen
if we could go around the picture? What if we change the point of view and can
recreate what Goya did not want to teach ?. New technologies can help it ...
recreate the image in three dimensions, turn to do what everyone at some point
we thought to admire the play \"The May 3 in Madrid\" or \"The
Executions on Principe Pio hill \"... to see the face of the firing squad
that Goya did not want to teach us ... relegating it to mere mechanical and
cold killing machine ... eliminating all traces of humanity ... Subsequently,
in the same spirit to bring our interests to the end, we think ... And why not
capture this idea physically? You can make a diorama? And this diorama
miniatures? Will they be static intended to decorate a showcase? Could they be
used to play using some of the regulations of the Napoleonic Wars? This is the
exciting challenge of Goya Project. Represent 28mm miniatures (scale 1/56) the
three-dimensional scene of the \"Executions\" liaising buffs Goya\'s
painting, to the history of Spain, and do it with a quality able to satisfy
modelers, and a versatile scale for many of the regulations wargame.
We hope this initiative will be well received.
Greetings!
Goya Project Team.
