EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable portrait of Manuel de Amat y Juniet, a prominent figure in Spanish colonial history. Painted by Pedro Jose Diaz in the 18th century, this oil on canvas masterpiece is now housed in the Museo de Arte de Catalunya in Barcelona, Spain. Manuel de Amat y Juniet was not only a Spanish military officer but also an esteemed colonial administrator. Serving as Governor of Chile from 1755 to 1761 and later as Viceroy of Peru from 1761 to 1776, he played a crucial role in shaping the destiny of these territories. Notably, he carried out the expulsion of the Jesuits from Peru in 1767. In this portrait, Amat y Juniet stands tall and proud, his full-length figure adorned with intricate embroidery and a sash that signifies his authority. A cane rests beside him, symbolizing both elegance and power. The background depicts what appears to be the siege of Gaeta, adding depth and context to this historical portrayal. It is worth mentioning that Manuel de Amat y Juniet's legacy extends beyond his administrative achievements. He became immortalized through literature as Thornton Wilder featured him prominently in his novel "The Bridge of San Luis Rey". This painting captures not only an influential individual but also reflects upon an era defined by colonization and battles for power.
