EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning nineteenth-century colored engraving captures a pivotal moment in the History of Spain - the Battle of river Salado on 30 October 1340. In this historic battle, we see King Afonso IV of Portugal and King Alfonso XI of Castile facing off against formidable opponents - sultan Abu al-Hasan Ali of the Marinid dynasty of Morocco and the Nasrid ruler Yusuf I of the Kingdom of Granada.
The scene is filled with action and intensity as warriors clash on the battlefield, arrows flying through the air and swords clashing. The conflict between Christian forces from Portugal and Castile against Arab rulers from North Africa showcases the complex history and cultural influences that have shaped Spain over centuries.
As we gaze upon this detailed engraving, we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event that would have far-reaching consequences for the Iberian Peninsula. The bravery and determination of these fighters are evident as they engage in a fierce struggle for power and dominance.
This print serves as a powerful reminder of the rich tapestry of history that has unfolded in Spain, with each battle leaving its mark on the land and its people. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of those who fought bravely for their beliefs, shaping the course of events for generations to come.
