EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Spanish history - the Mutiny of Aranjuez on March 17,1808. The image depicts the brutal repression of a civilian-military revolt orchestrated by supporters of Ferdinand VII, resulting in the imprisonment of Prime Minister Godoy and the abdication of King Charles IV in favor of his son. The photograph showcases an array of vibrant colors that bring this historical event to life. It offers us a glimpse into the chaos and turmoil that engulfed Spain during this period. The horizontal composition allows us to take in every detail, from the defiant expressions on the faces of those involved to the charged atmosphere permeating through the scene. Santiago Ortega skillfully captured this significant moment with great precision and artistry. His work transports us back to a time when political tensions ran high, leaving an indelible mark on Spanish history. This rare print is part of a private collection, serving as a testament to its historical value. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded not only of Spain's past struggles but also how moments like these shape nations and their destinies.
