EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, entitled "Proclamation of the First Republic in the Puerta del Sol of Madrid," transports us back in time to the pivotal moment in Spanish history when the First Republic was declared on February 11, 1874. The painting, created by the renowned Spanish artist Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida and his student José Benlliure y Gil, captures the excitement and anticipation of the crowd gathered in Madrid's iconic Puerta del Sol square. The vibrant colors of the painting, bathed in the natural light of a sunny day, illuminate the scene. Men and women, dressed in the fashion of the era, stand with their hats in hand, gazing intently at the figure atop the balcony of the Casa de Correos. The proclamation of the republic is being read aloud by the man in military uniform, his voice carrying through the air and reaching every corner of the bustling square. The painting is a testament to the power of the people, as they come together to embrace the promise of a new beginning. The sense of unity and hope is palpable, as the crowd raises their fists in solidarity and celebration. The painting is a valuable piece of Spanish history, and is currently part of a private collection, treasured for its historical significance and artistic merit. The painting, with its rich colors and intricate details, invites us to step back in time and witness this momentous occasion in Spanish history. It is a reminder of the power of the people to bring about change and the enduring spirit of the Republic.
