Some photographs go down in history due to their relevance. Certainly the photo of Nicolas Maduro captured and arrested will be one of them. The image was first released by US President Donald Trump, after the military operation that arrested the Venezuelan dictator and his wife.
The photo that shows Maduro captured, arrested, blindfolded, with ear muffs and with a bottle of water in the custody of the United States military forces. The photograph took place inside a US Navy ship, the USS Iwo Jima, according to Donald Trump himself, on the Truth social network (see vertical photo at the end of this article).
In addition to the photo of Maduro captured: other historical photos
Other images of captured dictators and leftists also made history, in addition to the photo of Maduro captured and arrested.
Perhaps the most direct reference to the case is Saddam Hussein and the Medical Examination (2003). The images of the subdued former Iraqi dictator, shaggy beard, mouth open, being examined by an American military doctor with a flashlight. Years later, images of the dictator hanged after conviction also made history.
Benito Mussolini is also a classic example. The body of Mussolini, his lover Clara Petacci and other fascists upside down at a gas station in Milan, exposed to the fury of the crowd.

Another image is that of the body of leftist Che Guevara (1967) on a laundry tank in the hospital in Vallegrande, Bolivia, surrounded by Bolivian soldiers and CIA agents, with his eyes open.
A photo of Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu (1989) and his wife sitting during trial is another that went down in history. The dictator ruled Romania with an iron fist for 24 years.
