EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic moment of the attempted assassination of King Alfonso XII on December 30,1879. The anarchist Francisco Otero y Gonzalez is depicted in this engraving by Virgo, which was featured in "The Illustrous World" publication on January 10,1880. In this historical event, Otero y Gonzalez aimed to assassinate King Alfonso XII, who reigned from 1874 until his death in 1885. This engraving beautifully portrays the intensity and chaos that unfolded during the attack. The image showcases a significant moment in Spanish history when anarchism was gaining momentum as a political ideology. It serves as a reminder of the turbulent times and social unrest prevalent during the late nineteenth century. Stefano Bianchetti's private collection houses this remarkable piece of art that encapsulates not only an assassination attempt but also various elements such as Spanish culture and history. The black-and-white aesthetic adds depth and emotion to the scene while emphasizing its historical significance. As we delve into this photograph print, we are transported back to a time where political tensions ran high and acts of violence were used to challenge authority. It stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation, inviting us to reflect upon Spain's past struggles for power and justice.
