24th Crossing Fernando Litography Persons
EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century litography print depicts a pivotal moment in Spanish history: the Return of King Fernando VII on March 24, 1814. The scene unfolds as the monarch, clad in white, confidently strides across the Fluvia River, surrounded by a throng of supporters. The National Library of Spain in Madrid houses this remarkable piece, which encapsulates the national pride and jubilation that accompanied Fernando's restoration to the throne after years of exile. Fernando VII, a charismatic and controversial figure, had been deposed in 1808 during the Peninsular War. The Spanish people, longing for their monarch's return, eagerly awaited his arrival. The image of the king crossing the river was a symbol of hope and unity, as the country prepared to face the challenges of the post-war era. The print's intricate details bring the scene to life, with the king's determined expression and the excited crowd in the background. The men and women, dressed in the fashion of the time, are depicted with a sense of energy and enthusiasm. The river, with its gentle flow, adds a serene element to the image, creating a striking contrast with the dynamic human activity. This historical print not only offers a glimpse into the past but also serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Spanish people. The Return of King Fernando VII remains an essential piece of Spanish history and a captivating work of art.
