EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait depicts Joaquin de Montserrat y Margall i de Pallarols (1700-1771), the Marquess of Cruilles, during his tenure as the Spanish viceroy of New Spain from 1760 to 1766. Born in Barcelona, Montserrat rose through the ranks of the Spanish military and political establishment, earning the title of Marquess of Cruilles in 1754. In 1760, King Charles III appointed him viceroy of New Spain, replacing the controversial Count of Revillagigedo. Montserrat's reign was marked by a focus on economic development and the promotion of agriculture. He encouraged the cultivation of sugarcane, cotton, and other crops, as well as the expansion of mining operations. Montserrat also sought to improve infrastructure, including the construction of roads, bridges, and fortifications. Despite his efforts to promote prosperity, Montserrat faced numerous challenges during his time in office. He dealt with rebellions in the Yucatan Peninsula and the Philippines, as well as natural disasters such as hurricanes and earthquakes. Montserrat's administration was also marked by corruption and nepotism, which further strained the already tense relationship between the Spanish crown and the colonies. This engraving, colored in the modern age, offers a glimpse into the image of power and authority that Montserrat presented during his time as viceroy. The Marquess is depicted in formal attire, with a stern expression and a hand resting on a sword, signifying his military background and his role as the representative of the Spanish crown in the New World. The intricate details of the engraving, from the folds of Montserrat's cloak to the ornate decorations on the wall behind him, serve as a reminder of the grandeur and opulence of the Spanish colonial empire at its height.
