The Colossus consists of 2 works: the first shows the giant towering angry behind a valley of fleeing people and animals with his back turned, and the 2nd depicts the same Colossus sitting with his back turned still. The meaning is not 100% known, but i have read a lot into the issue, and my favourite interpretation is that the Colossus is protecting the Spanish village against the army of Napoleon who was often referred to as “The Colossus of Europe”. Colossus in Goya’s painting represents the spirit of resistance, which provoked Spaniard to engage in bloody confrontations with Napoleon’s troops, and the motionless foreground donkey seems to imply that the servitude of the Spanish peasants, who lived in poverty, would remain unchanged no matter who ruled Spain. I hope that helps at least a bit
