EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning painting, titled "Platerias Ornamental Street to Mark the Entry into the City of Madrid by King Carlos III," is a masterpiece by the renowned Spanish historical painter Lorenzo Quiros (1717-1789). The artwork depicts the grand entrance of King Carlos III (1716-1788) into Madrid in 1760, an event that marked the beginning of the Bourbon Dynasty's absolute rule in Spain. The scene unfolds on Madrid's Mayor Street, which has been beautifully adorned with intricate ornaments and decorations to celebrate the monarch's arrival. The King can be seen riding on horseback, surrounded by his entourage, while the crowd below cheers and applauds. The people of Madrid have come out in large numbers to witness the historic moment, reflecting the strong connection between the monarchy and the society during the Enlightenment period in Europe. The painting is a testament to the grandeur and opulence of the Spanish monarchy during the 18th century. The ornamental street, filled with houses adorned with intricate designs, showcases the wealth and power of the Spanish Indies, which were a significant source of revenue for the Spanish crown. The painting is now housed in the Municipal Museum of the Royal Academy of San Fernando, which serves as the repository of Spanish art history. The artwork's intricate details and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in Spanish history, art, and the European Enlightenment period.
