EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "The Moroccan Peace: Meeting between General O'Donnell and Prince Muley-el-Abas," showcases a pivotal moment in Spanish-Moroccan history. Painted by the renowned Spanish artist Joaquín Domínguez Becquer (1818-1879), the artwork depicts the preliminary talks leading to the signature of the Wad-Ras Armistice on March 25, 1860. The scene is set in a serene outdoor setting, with the Spanish General Silvestre Silvestre de Sola y O'Donnell (1801-1865) and the Moroccan Prince Muley el-Abas (1815-1867) engaged in a cordial conversation. The peaceful atmosphere is further emphasized by the gentle sunlight filtering through the trees, casting a warm glow over the figures. The Wad-Ras Armistice was a significant event in the Spanish-Moroccan War, which lasted from 1859 to 1860. The armistice marked the end of hostilities between the two nations and paved the way for diplomatic relations. This painting captures the essence of the negotiations, highlighting the importance of dialogue and diplomacy in resolving conflicts. Joaquín Domínguez Becquer masterfully portrays the characters' expressions, conveying a sense of respect and understanding between the two leaders. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the intricately painted clothing, the textured foliage, and the lifelike portrayal of the landscape. This painting is an invaluable historical document and a testament to the artistic skill of Joaquín Domínguez Becquer. It is currently housed in the Army Museum in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich history of Spanish-Moroccan relations.
