Iconic images from modern history

Taken in 1945, this is one of the most recognisable photographs from the Second World War. This picture immediately became synonymous with American soldiers' pride, bravery, and unity.

A masterpiece of photography. The hope of a new world  exists in the eyes of a young girl and, at the same time, a background of sadness and horror.

September 11, 2001 left shocking images in abundance. Al Qaeda's attack on New York, bringing down the World Trade Center towers with commercial planes, shocked the world.

The horror was exhibited that 9/11 in its most hypnotic form. The towers first burned and then fell into ash.

Flowers against guns in 1967. This is how hippies and students fought to establish the Age of Aquarius that would bring love everywhere.

This iconic image is, in reality, a frame taken from CNN's broadcast of the most intense popular revolt ever experienced in communist China. The loneliness of that man who faced the tanks moves us and horrifies us in equal measure.

'Le baiser de l'hôtel de ville (The Kiss)' by Frenchman Robert Doisneau is one of the most iconic photographs of all time. It was taken in 1950 and although Doisneu sold it to Life as an image captured at random on the street, it was later learned that it was a montage, that the protagonists posed. The magic, however, remains.

A tribute to other great kisses in the history of photography. In Kyiv in 2013, long before the war changed the lives of everyone in the picture.

1989. The Berlin Wall falls and German youth exhibit their optimism by climbing that symbol of the Cold War.

In the Great Depression that occurred after the crash of 1929 in the United States, images of poverty occurred throughout the country. Thousands of people wandered about without jobs or homes. Many were migrants who went from one area of the United States to another looking to make a living. The great photographer Dorothea Lange was able to tenderly immortalize that drama.

This picture was taken in the 1950s, in Princeton, during the last years of the German genius who never returned to his homeland and died in the United States.

The portrait that Alberto Korda made of Ernesto Guevara is part of the essential iconography of the 21st century.

Just a few seconds before being killed by a sniper's bullet. John Fitzgerald Kennedy in Dallas. November 22, 1963.

An avant-garde experiment by the great artistic photographer Man Ray. From 1932.

The horror summed up in a horizon of devastation never seen before.

This image provided by NASA in 1969 contains the emotion of a great journey undertaken by humanity and that, for the moment, has not ended: our desire to explore beyond this small blue planet.

The image of a little girl running for her life after a napalm attack shocked the world and encompassed the horror of the Vietnam war. Nick Ut pictured here took this photograph in 1972 and is shown here with Kim P h u c, the infamous "Napalm Girl."
