EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Spanish history during the Civil War of 1820-1823. The fan depicted in the image is adorned with an illustration of King Ferdinand VII swearing loyalty to the Cadiz Constitution, symbolizing a significant shift towards liberalism and constitutionalism in Spain.
The scene portrayed on the fan reflects the political turmoil and ideological conflicts that characterized this period known as the Triennium Liberal. Ferdinand VII, a controversial figure who vacillated between absolutist and liberal policies, is shown here embracing liberal ideals by pledging allegiance to the constitution drafted in Cadiz.
Located at the Textile and Clothing Museum in Barcelona, this artifact serves as a tangible reminder of Spain's turbulent past and its struggle for political reform. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the fan highlight not only its artistic value but also its historical significance as a representation of Spanish politics during this era.
Through images like these, we are able to delve into Spain's complex history, exploring themes of power dynamics, public institutions, and cultural evolution. This print offers viewers a glimpse into a defining moment in Spanish history when ideologies clashed and new paths were forged towards progress and change.
