The painting has been displayed before alongside The Second of May, a depiction of the previous day's battle, in which Spanish militias viciously attacked Napoleon's Mameluke soldiers.

His biggest impact on the world stage came the day after the five-year anniversary of 9/11. Benedict gave a riveting lecture at his former university in Regensberg, Germany, outlining what he sees as the pivotal duality of reason and faith.
