EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving depicts a pivotal moment in the history of Barcelona and Catalonia during the Peninsular War (1808-1814). On February 29, 1808, the French army, led by Marshal Jean-André Amédée Marmont, successfully occupied the citadel of Montjuic. The news of the occupation sparked widespread anger and discontent among the Catalan population, who saw it as a threat to their independence and cultural identity. The scene in this illustration is filled with a sense of unease and unrest. A large, agitated crowd gathers in the city, their faces etched with worry and frustration. Soldiers stand guard, their expressions stern and determined. The French troops, easily recognizable by their distinctive uniforms, are shown occupying the citadel atop the hill, looking down upon the restless masses below. The use of color in this engraving adds depth and emotion to the scene, making it a vivid and evocative representation of the malaise that gripped Barcelona during this tumultuous time. The Peninsular War was a significant period in Spanish history, marked by the struggle against Napoleon's invasion and the eventual restoration of the Spanish monarchy. This powerful image serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
