EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Madrid in 1855, just before a significant urban reform transformed the cityscape forever. The image captures a vibrant scene in Puerta del Sol, one of Madrid's most iconic squares. Here, we witness traditional Madrileños going about their daily lives amidst the historical backdrop. The photograph is steeped in history and provides a rare glimpse into the past. It showcases an array of colorful characters from all walks of life - merchants selling their goods, elegantly dressed ladies strolling arm-in-arm, children playing joyfully on the cobblestone streets. Each person contributes to the tapestry of this dynamic city. The horizontal composition allows our eyes to wander through every corner of this lively square. We can almost hear snippets of conversation and feel the energy that once filled these very streets. Santiago Ortega Ramón's masterful painting technique brings out vivid details and evokes nostalgia for a bygone era. Preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Madrid's rich cultural heritage and its ever-changing urban landscape. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded that cities are constantly evolving entities shaped by both progress and preservation. Let this enchanting print transport you back in time as you immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere that once graced Puerta del Sol – an enduring symbol of Madrid's past and present intertwined.
