EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century engraving captures the impressive main facade of the University of Valladolid in Spain, a magnificent architectural masterpiece built between 1716 and 1718. Located in the heart of the historic city of Valladolid, in the region of Castile and Leon, the university is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Spain during the Baroque period. Fray Pedro de la Visitacion, a renowned architect of the time, oversaw the construction of this grand edifice as part of an expansion project for the university. The Baroque style, with its ornate details and grandeur, is evident in the intricate stonework and elegant balconies adorning the facade. The University of Valladolid, founded in the 13th century, has a long and storied history, making it one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in Europe. This print, published in the "Cronica General de Espana, Historia Ilustrada y Descriptiva de sus Provincias. Asturias y Leon," offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when scholars and intellectuals walked the halls of this esteemed institution. The engraving, created by Letre and Sierra, showcases the university's main facade in all its glory, inviting us to imagine the bustling campus life and the lively intellectual discourse that once took place within its walls. Today, the University of Valladolid continues to be an important center of learning and research, attracting students and scholars from around the world.
