EDITORS COMMENTS
This vividly colored lithograph by J. Serra and Vidal captures the intensity and passion of the National Militia Uprising in the city of Valencia during the Liberal Triennium of Spain in 1822. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of the tumultuous political climate of the early 19th century, as citizens rose up to defend the Spanish Constitution of 1812 against the absolutist forces of King Ferdinand VII. The image depicts a chaotic and frenzied scene, with militiamen brandishing weapons and banners, their faces etched with determination and resolve. The King, represented by a figure in the distance on horseback, looks on with a mixture of fear and defiance. The crowd below, a sea of colorful garments and raised fists, reflects the diverse and passionate support for the constitutional cause. The Liberal Triennium, also known as the Trienio Liberal, was a brief period of liberal reforms and political freedom in Spain, following the abdication of Ferdinand VII in 1820. However, the experiment was short-lived, as conservative forces, led by the King himself, sought to restore the absolutist monarchy. The National Militia Uprising in Valencia was one of several violent clashes between the two sides, which ultimately led to the end of the Triennium and the reinstatement of Ferdinand VII in 1823. This powerful and evocative lithograph serves as a testament to the passion and conviction of the people of Valencia during this pivotal moment in Spanish history. Its rich colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the streets of the city over 200 years ago.
