EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting, created by Francisco Jover y Casanova between 1890 and 1897, captures a significant moment in Spanish history. Entitled "The Queen Regent Maria Christina of Austria taking the Oath of the Constitution of 1876 accompanied by the Princesses Mercedes and Teresa. Congress Session of December 30th, 1885," the artwork depicts Queen Maria Christina, a Habsburg archduchess, swearing to uphold the liberal Constitution of 1876 in the presence of her daughters, Princesses Mercedes and Teresa, and the deputies of the Spanish Congress. The scene unfolds in the Senate Palace in Madrid, the autonomous community of Spain. Queen Maria Christina, dressed in regal attire, holds the Constitution in her hand as she raises it towards the heavens, symbolizing her commitment to the democratic principles enshrined within. The princesses, dressed in elegant gowns, stand by her side, their expressions reflecting a sense of pride and support. The deputies, seated in the chamber, look on with solemnity and respect. The painting is a testament to the political turmoil and transformation that Spain underwent during the late 19th century. The liberal Constitution of 1876 marked a significant shift towards democratic governance, and this painting captures the moment when the monarchy pledged to uphold its principles. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details in the painting bring the scene to life, making it a captivating and historically important work of art.
