EDITORS COMMENTS
Agustina de Aragon, also known as Agustina Sarasosa y Domingo (1790-1858), is depicted in this stunning oil on canvas portrait by Lucio Rivas. The Spanish heroine is immortalized in this vertical composition, which hangs in the Army Museum in Madrid, Spain. Agustina de Aragon gained renown during the Peninsular War for her valiant defense of the Portillo de la Almozara in Zaragoza. During the Siege of Zaragoza in 1809, the city was under siege by the French army led by Marshal Jean-Andoche Junot. Agustina, a young and unmarried woman, bravely defended the Portillo, a crucial strategic point, alongside her father and brother. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, they managed to hold off the French forces for several days, allowing the rest of the city to prepare for a counterattack. The portrait captures the determination and strength of character that Agustina displayed during this pivotal moment in Spanish history. She is dressed in the traditional attire of the time, with a white blouse and a red mantilla draped over her shoulders. Her gaze is steady and resolute, reflecting the unwavering spirit of the Spanish people during the Peninsular War. The portrait by Lucio Rivas is a testament to the bravery and heroism of Agustina de Aragon and her role in defending Zaragoza during the Peninsular War. It is a proud reminder of Spain's rich history and the courage of its people in the face of adversity.
