EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a significant moment in Spanish history - the meeting of King Alfonso XIII and his mother, Regent Maria Cristina of Hapsburg, in 1898 Madrid. The engraving, originally featured in the renowned magazine l Illustration, beautifully captures the essence of this royal encounter. Intriguingly framed within the context of the late 19th to early 20th centuries, this image transports us back to a time when Spain was undergoing immense political and social changes. As Alfonso XIII ascended to the throne at a young age, his mother Maria Cristina assumed regency until he came of age. This powerful duo played instrumental roles in shaping Spain's destiny during these tumultuous times. The etching itself is masterfully executed by Santiago Ortega, an artist whose name has become synonymous with historical accuracy and attention to detail. Through delicate lines and shading techniques, Ortega brings out every nuance on their faces - from Alfonso's youthful exuberance to Maria Cristina's regal poise. While we may not know who exactly captured this intimate moment between mother and son on camera or how it ended up gracing the pages of l Illustration magazine, its significance as a testament to Spanish royalty cannot be understated. This remarkable piece serves as a visual reminder of Spain's rich heritage and offers us glimpses into an era long gone but forever immortalized through artistry.
