EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative pencil drawing by Mariano Fortuny Marsal captures the raw intensity of the Hispano-Moroccan War (1859-1860) through the image of two soldiers on horseback in Africa. Fortuny Marsal, a Catalan artist from Tarragona, Spain, was known for his romantic and dramatic depictions of historical events and people. This drawing, titled "Notes from the War of Africa," is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the human experience of war. The two soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, are depicted with determined expressions as they ride their horses through the African terrain. The rough texture of the drawing accentuates the ruggedness of the landscape and the harsh realities of war. The soldiers' uniforms, with their intricate details and folds, are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, highlighting Fortuny Marsal's mastery of the medium. The drawing is a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the bravery of the soldiers who fought in the Hispano-Moroccan War. The conflict, which was sparked by Spain's attempts to expand its colonial empire in North Africa, resulted in thousands of casualties and ultimately led to the signing of the Treaty of Wad-Ras in 1860. Fortuny Marsal's "Notes from the War of Africa" is a powerful and evocative work of art that transports us back in time to the midst of a pivotal moment in Spanish and African history. The drawing is a valuable addition to the collection of the Salvador Vilaseca Regional Museum in Reus, Spain, and a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and preserve the human experience.
