1922 Mexico National Proclamation Watercolor Agustin City Of Mexico Iturbide Santiago Ortega
EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print captures a significant moment in Mexican history - the proclamation of Agustin de Iturbide as Emperor of Mexico on May 19,1822. The artist, Santiago Ortega, skillfully depicts the grandeur and solemnity of this historic event. In this horizontal composition, we see a vibrant cityscape in the background, likely representing Mexico City. The colors are rich and vivid, bringing to life the bustling atmosphere of the capital during this pivotal time. In the foreground stands Agustin de Iturbide himself, portrayed with regal poise and confidence. Dressed in royal attire adorned with intricate details, he commands attention as he raises his hand to address his subjects. The scene is filled with symbolism that speaks to both national pride and historical significance. The proclamation itself is depicted through subtle visual cues such as scrolls or documents held by attendants nearby. This watercolor print not only serves as a visual record but also evokes a sense of awe and reverence for an important chapter in Mexican history. Displayed at the National Museum of History in Mexico City since its creation in 1922, this artwork by an unknown artist has become an enduring testament to Iturbide's brief reign as emperor and continues to fascinate viewers with its artistic beauty and historical context.
