Isabella II, Queen of Spain, was a figure who experienced both triumph and betrayal throughout her life. From the stunning oil on canvas portrait that immortalized her reign to the tumultuous Republican insurrection in Malaga during The Glorious Revolution, Isabella II's story is one of resilience and political upheaval. This engraving captures the regal essence of Isabella II, showcasing her as a powerful ruler amidst a turbulent era. However, behind this facade lies a tale of treachery and disloyalty. As depicted in the Vanity Fair cartoon from 1869, she was betrayed by those closest to her when they should have been faithful allies. The lithograph titled "Called to the Arena. Or Opening the Door to Revolution" symbolizes how Isabella II became entangled in political turmoil during La Gloriosa. This period marked a turning point for Spain as it transitioned into an era of revolution and unrest. Even after her reign ended, Isabella II's presence lingered. King Alfonso XIII paid his respects before her coffin in another poignant lithograph. It serves as a reminder that despite being dethroned, she still held significance within Spanish history. Through various engravings and caricatures like "The Last of the Bourbons. " or "Vanity Fair caricature, " we catch glimpses into how Isabella II was perceived by society at different points in time – sometimes revered but often subject to ridicule or criticism. Yet amidst all these portrayals lies an image captured by unknown artists: Madrid - where Queen Isabella passed La Buena Vista on La Alcala street in 1845. This moment frozen in time represents not only royalty passing through bustling streets but also hints at the complexities hidden beneath their majestic façade. Isabella II's legacy is one intertwined with power struggles and personal betrayals. Despite facing numerous challenges throughout her life as Queen of Spain, she left an indelible mark on history.
