EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history - "The surrender of Granada, between the Catholic Kings and Boabdil on 2nd January 1492". Painted by Francisco Pradilla in 1832, this oil masterpiece beautifully depicts the end of an era. The image showcases a horizontal composition that transports us back to the vibrant city of Granada during the 15th century. In vivid color, we witness the solemn exchange between King Ferdinand II of Aragon and Queen Isabella I of Castile with Boabdil, the last Moorish ruler of Granada. This historic event marked not only the fall of Granada but also symbolized Spain's unification under Catholic rule. The painting exudes a sense of religious significance as it highlights Santiago Ortega, who played a crucial role in this conquest. The Senate Palace stands tall in Madrid's background, reminding us that political power was shifting towards central Spain. As we gaze at this remarkable artwork, we are transported into an important chapter in Spanish history - one where religion and politics intertwine to shape nations. It serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and surrender, art has always been there to capture these significant moments for generations to come.
