Nota: Publico la segunda parte (ver
galería 1) de una serie de imágenes de Fulgencio Batista, organizadas cronológicamente.
Las fotos de hoy sirven (para ayudar) a tener una idea de la vida personal de uno de los dos personajes (acá una
galería del otro) que más han influenciado en el siglo XX (y lo que va del XXI) cubano. He respetado los pies de foto de AP.

(Museo Nacional del Prado). El Coloso presenta un paisaje en el que una figura masculina de proporciones gigantescas camina de espaldas, rodeada de nubes, con sus ojos cerrados y el puño izquierdo levantado. En la parte baja, todo de tamaño muy reducido, hombres y mujeres, carruajes y animales corren o se detienen en su huída. El cuadro llegó al Prado en 1931, siendo aceptado y admirado como la máxima expresión del Goya moderno. Era, sin embargo, un período, en que los estudios actualizados sobre el artista estaban en sus inicios y el conocimiento de los seguidores e imitadores del maestro -tema considerado ya entonces- era aún precario. A partir de ese momento, y durante todo el siglo XX, El Coloso se fue convirtiendo en una de las obras más citadas en la bibliografía de Goya y de las más populares, llegando a ser ilustración obligada, en España, de la guerra de la Independencia. Su tonalidad oscura y falta de luz en su materia, determinaron que las fotos y reproducciones más modernas (en blanco y negro no se aprecian los detalles) lo hayan presentado generalmente con resultados que se podrían definir como fotogénicos, que no responden a la realidad del cuadro. Visto con luz adecuada (el nivel de luz al que se expone en el Museo no penetra en los pigmentos, muy opacos de esta obra) se hace manifiesta la pobreza de su técnica, de su luz y colorido, así como la marcada diferencia de El Coloso con las obras maestras, de atribución documentada de Goya. La cuestión de la “mano” del artista, y desde luego, de la autoría del cuadro, ha recibido un fuerte apoyo con la reciente identificación, muy comentado en la prensa1, de las iniciales “AJ” en la superficie de la pintura, y de ahí la hipótesis de que el cuadro sea obra del pintor valenciano Asensio Juliá, conocido a partir de los últimos años del siglo XVIII como ayudante principal del taller de Goya.
