EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Manuel de Godoy, a prominent figure in Spanish history during the 18th and 19th centuries. Known as the Duke of Alcudia and Sueca, he served as the Prime Minister of Charles IV, earning him the nickname "Prince of Peace" for his instrumental role in negotiating the Peace of Basel treaty between France, Prussia, and Spain. The engraving from 1870 beautifully captures Godoy's aristocratic demeanor and historical significance. His dignified presence reflects his influential position as a politician and minister during this transformative period in Spain's history. Displayed against a stark black background, Godoy's portrait emanates power and authority. The vertical composition adds to its grandeur while emphasizing his stature as a duke. This rare image is part of a private collection owned by Santiago Ortega. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to an era when political negotiations shaped nations' destinies. It serves as a reminder that even amidst tumultuous times, leaders like Manuel de Godoy played pivotal roles in establishing peace agreements that would shape Europe's future. This print not only offers us insight into one man's life but also invites us to reflect on the intricate web of politics that influenced our shared history.
