EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the Taking of Mataro by the troops of the Duke of Angouleme, French military. Dating back to the 19th century, this image showcases a remarkable alliance and an act of defiance. In 1823, during the Holy Alliance's reign, they dispatched an army known as The hundred thousand children of Saint Louis to Spain. Led by the Duke of Angouleme himself, these troops embarked on a mission to capture Mataro - a pivotal city in Spain's autonomous region near Madrid. The photograph beautifully portrays this historical event with its vibrant colors and vertical composition. It transports us back in time when wars were fought differently but held immense significance nonetheless. As we gaze upon this print displayed at Museo Municipal, it is impossible not to marvel at Santiago Ortega's skillful documentation. His lens captured both the determination etched on soldiers' faces and the resilience exhibited by those defending their homeland. This photo serves as a reminder that history is shaped not only by great leaders but also by ordinary people who bravely stood up against adversity. It symbolizes both triumph and tragedy while honoring those who fought valiantly for their beliefs. Let us cherish this visual testament to human courage and remember that even amidst chaos and conflict, there are stories worth preserving for generations to come.
