Dos de Mayo – Madrid, Jacinto Ruiz memorial, bas-relief, west

Summary[edit]

Description
English: Jacinto Ruiz y Mendoza (1779 - 1809), most famous for his action at the Parque de Artillería de Monteleón, focal point of the Dos-de-Mayo [1808] Uprising against the napoléonic occupation of Spain.  

Lieutenant Jacinto Ruiz took over the command (this bas-relief) once Captain Pedro Velarde was killed and Captain Luis Daoíz mortally wounded. Severely wounded himself (see east bas-relief), he was evacuated and eventually translated all the way to Badajoz, a safer place to avoid being captured by the enemy. Raised to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel for his bravery, he never recovered and died on March 13, 1809.

In the background is depicted the entrance gate to the Barracks of Monteleón, their sole remnant, still to be seen Plaza Dos de Mayo <► https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Dao%C3%ADz_%26_Velarde_%E2%80%93_overall_view.jpg.
