The Spanish-American War - Queen Maria Christina of Spain Addresses the Cortes
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this 19th-century lithograph, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history - the Spanish-American War. The image depicts Queen Maria Christina of Spain, acting as regent on behalf of her young son Alfonso XIII, reading her address to the Spanish parliament, known as the Cortes. Dressed in regal attire and surrounded by politicians and dignitaries, Queen Maria Christina exudes grace and authority. Her words carry weight as she addresses the nation during this tumultuous time. The war between Spain and America looms large, adding an air of tension to the scene. The artist skillfully captures not only the political significance but also the personal aspect of this momentous occasion. As a mother addressing her people on behalf of her son, Queen Maria Christina's love for Alfonso XIII is palpable. It is a testament to both her strength as a ruler and her devotion as a parent. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how politics intertwine with family dynamics within royal households. It offers us a glimpse into European monarchy during an era marked by shifting power dynamics and global conflicts. As we gaze upon this historical gem from Fine Art Finder's collection, we are reminded that behind every grand event lies human emotions - be it love for one's child or concern for one's country - making history all the more relatable and intriguing.
