Abdication Amadeo Etching Journal Leaving Lillustration Universel Up Right
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching published in the prestigious French journal, L'Illustration Universel, in 1873, we witness a pivotal moment in Spanish history: the abdication of King Amadeo I and Queen Mariana Victoria. The image captures the royal couple leaving the Royal Palace in Madrid, their faces etched with a mixture of sadness and resignation. Amadeo I, dressed in a formal black suit and white cravat, holds a hat in his hand, while Queen Mariana Victoria, wearing a long white dress and a veil, follows closely behind, her hands folded in prayer. The scene is depicted in an upright, vertical format, adding to the sense of grandeur and importance. The etching, with its intricate details and masterful shading, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of political upheaval and royal intrigue in Spain. The abdication of Amadeo I marked the end of the Bourbon dynasty and the beginning of the First Spanish Republic. This poignant image serves as a reminder of the fleeting nature of power and the enduring power of art to capture history in a single moment.
