JOSE AMADOR (1897–1965). - (Photo XL) Imagén inédita e impactante de Che Guevara con granadas, machete y boina, 1959

In this powerful composition, Che appears standing, facing forward, radiating confidence and charisma.
He wore his classic revolutionary beret, with his jacket casually draped over his right shoulder, while firmly holding his belt. Between his fingers, a half-lit cigar, and hanging from a finger, a hand grenade, a visual symbol of the tension and intensity of the historic moment Cuba was experiencing.

On his belt, another grenade and a combat machete can be seen, details that reinforce the authenticity and the drama of the moment. His side glance, serene and smiling, seems to anticipate victory, portraying a human Che, triumphant and aware of the symbolic weight of his role in history.

The visual strength of this photograph lies not only in its historical value but also in its impeccable composition, where spontaneity and documentary aesthetics merge with a unique naturalness.
