8th Century Asturias Kingdom Muslims Personages Covadonga Pelayo Santiago Ortega
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historical moment of Pelayo, Don (- 737), King of Asturias from 718 to 73, leading his troops to victory in the Battle of Covadonga. The artwork, created in 1900 by Santiago Ortega, beautifully depicts this significant event that took place in the 8th century. In this horizontal drawing, we see Pelayo and his Asturian soldiers bravely standing against a backdrop of vibrant colors. The artist skillfully portrays the intensity and determination on their faces as they engage in battle with Muslim forces. This clash between two kingdoms symbolizes a pivotal turning point in Spanish history. Pelayo's triumph at Covadonga marked not only a military victory but also became a symbol of resistance against Muslim rule. As the first king of Asturias, he laid the foundation for future Christian reconquest efforts known as "Reconquista". His leadership and strategic brilliance inspired generations to come. Preserved within a private collection, this rare piece offers us an invaluable glimpse into Spain's rich past. It serves as a reminder of Pelayo's courage and resilience during one of Europe's most turbulent periods. Through this artwork, we are transported back to an era where kingdoms clashed and heroes emerged.
