EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a pivotal moment in Spanish history: the Conquest of Valencia in 1238 by James I of Aragon. The image, titled "Spain. Crown of Aragon. Conquest of Valencia," is an illustration by Carlos Mendoza, published in an edition by Ramón Martínez. The engraving showcases the exterior of the siege scene, with a large ram prepared for the assault on the city walls. The vertical composition, bathed in daylight, exudes a sense of grandeur and determination. James I, the Monarch of the Crown of Aragon, is depicted in the foreground, clad in armor and gazing intently at the fortified city. The siege engines, including the ram, are positioned behind him, ready for action. Valencia, a prosperous and culturally rich city, had been under Muslim rule for centuries. James I's conquest marked the beginning of the Christian Reconquista in the eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula. The title "Glorias españolas" (Spanish Glories) is inscribed at the top of the print, emphasizing the significance of this historical event. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textures of the armor to the expressions on the faces of the soldiers, transport us back in time to witness this crucial moment in Spanish history.
