This print showcases the historic moment of the "Ascent of a Montgolfier Balloon in Madrid" on July 5th, 1784. Painted by Antonio Carnicero and Santiago Ortega, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of adventure and innovation during the 18th century. The painting depicts a vibrant scene with Boucle, an intrepid aviator, soaring high above Madrid in his magnificent hot air balloon. The vivid colors bring to life the excitement and awe that filled the air as spectators witnessed this groundbreaking feat. The Montgolfier balloon was a symbol of progress and human ingenuity during its time. Its ascent marked a significant milestone in aviation history, showcasing mankind's ability to conquer new heights. This artwork not only immortalizes Boucle's daring flight but also serves as a testament to Spain's contribution to scientific exploration. Displayed at Museo del Prado in Spain's Community of Madrid, this vertical composition invites viewers to step back into history and marvel at the courage it took for early pioneers like Boucle to take flight.
