Carlos Condell (1843-1887): A Chilean Naval Hero of the Pacific War This engraving, titled "Carlos Condell (1843-1887). Chilean Navy," is an elegant and detailed portrayal of Admiral Carlos Condell, a significant figure in Chilean and South American naval history. The image, created in 1879 by the skilled hand of Spanish engraver Vela, showcases Condell in his prime, wearing a formal suit and adorned with a bow tie, sideburns, and a prominent mustache. Condell's military career began during the War of the Pacific (1879-1884), a conflict between Chile, Bolivia, and Peru over territorial disputes in the region. Condell's naval prowess was instrumental in securing Chilean victory, making him a national hero. This engraving, published in "The Spanish and American Illustration," highlights his distinguished military achievements. The image captures Condell's intense gaze, conveying a sense of determination and focus. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate textures of Condell's uniform, the subtle shading of his facial features, and the delicate rendering of the background elements. Condell's signature can be seen at the bottom left corner of the image, adding an authentic touch to this historical record. The engraving's vibrant colors further enhance its visual appeal, transporting us back to the late 19th century and the era of great naval battles in the Pacific. This image offers a glimpse into the life of a remarkable military figure, whose contributions to Chilean history continue to be celebrated. The engraving serves as a testament to Condell's heroism, leadership, and the pivotal role he played in South American naval history.
