Assault Carlist Day Light Engravings Morella Panorama Panoramic Reactionary Sun Light Oria
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative engraving, the second assault on Morella during the First Carlist War is depicted in stunning detail. The sun casts a warm, golden glow over the exterior of the National Library in Madrid as we gaze upon this panoramic scene of the historic event. The year is 1837, and the army of General Oria, a reactionary force loyal to Don Carlos, the Carlist pretender to the Spanish throne, is shown launching a fierce attack on the town of Morella. The engraving captures the chaos and intensity of the moment, with soldiers charging forward, their weapons at the ready, while others climb the walls of the town in an attempt to gain a strategic advantage. The townspeople of Morella, determined to defend their home, are shown fighting back with equal ferocity. The clash of colors in the image - the red and gold of the Carlist army, the blue and white of the defenders' flags, and the earthy tones of the landscape - adds to the sense of drama and energy. The Second Assault on Morella was a pivotal moment in the First Carlist War, which lasted from 1833 to 1840 and saw Spain plunged into a bitter civil conflict. This engraving offers a unique and captivating glimpse into this turbulent period of Spanish history, transporting us back to a time of passion, courage, and determination. This beautiful and intricately detailed engraving is a testament to the skill and artistry of the engraver, and a valuable addition to any collection of historical images or Spanish art. Whether you are a scholar of Spanish history, a lover of fine art, or simply someone who appreciates the beauty of a well-crafted image, this print is sure to inspire and captivate you.
