The Cry of the Palleter - A Powerful Declaration Against Napoleon
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a momentous historical event, immortalized in oil on canvas by the talented artist Sorolla y Bastida. The painting, titled "The Cry of the Palleter declaring war on Napoleon" transports us back to Valencia in 1884. In this scene, we witness an intense protest and rebellion led by Vicente Domenech, known as El Palleter. The crowd that surrounds him is made up of poor Valencians who have united in their patriotic fervor against French invaders during the early 19th century. With clenched fists raised high and determination etched across their faces, they declare their allegiance to Ferdinand VII and announce war on Napoleon's forces. The setting for this historic declaration is none other than the iconic Silk Exchange (Lonja de la Seda), symbolizing Valencia's economic power and resilience. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we can almost hear the resounding cry echoing through its grand halls. Sorolla y Bastida masterfully captures both the intensity of emotion within each individual face and the collective strength emanating from this unified crowd. Through his brushstrokes, he brings to life a pivotal moment in Spanish history – one that embodies patriotism and resistance against oppression. This remarkable artwork serves as a reminder of our shared human capacity for bravery and unity when faced with adversity. It stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit that resides within every person fighting
