EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures a pivotal moment in Spanish history - the Acclamation of Philip V in Madrid on November 24, 1700. Philip V, who reigned from 1683 to 1746, was King of Spain during this tumultuous period. The ink wash on paper artwork by Filippo Pallotta (?-1721) is housed at the History Museum in Madrid, Spain.
In the image, we see a panoramic view of the scene unfolding at the Alcazar Palace as a multitude of people gather to acclaim their new monarch. The European-style facade of the fortress-like building serves as a backdrop to this historic episode.
The crowd's excitement and anticipation are palpable as they witness the beginning of Philip V's reign. This engraving provides us with an overview of society at that time, showcasing both the grandeur of royal ceremonies and the participation of ordinary citizens in important events.
Through this artwork, we are transported back to 18th-century Spain and given a glimpse into the monarchy's power and influence over its people. It is a reminder of how art can capture moments that shape our collective history and provide insight into past societies.
