EDITORS COMMENTS
Amadeo of Savoy (1845-1890), also known as Amadeo I of Spain, is depicted in this stunning portrait attributed to Francisco Sans Cabot, painted in 1871. Amadeo, a Sardinian-born prince from the House of Savoy, ascended to the Spanish throne in 1871 following the abdication of Isabella II. His reign, which lasted only two years and eight months, was marked by political instability and economic hardship. The portrait, executed in oil on canvas, captures Amadeo's regal presence and distinguished demeanor. He is depicted wearing the royal robes and the Spanish Order of the Golden Fleece, symbolizing his position as the King of Spain. The color palette of the painting is rich and warm, with deep reds and golds dominating the composition. Amadeo's reign was short-lived, and he was eventually forced to abdicate in 1873 due to popular unrest and political pressure. Despite the challenges he faced during his time on the Spanish throne, this portrait serves as a testament to his dignity and the respect he commanded as a monarch. This portrait is now housed in the Museo de Historia in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to captivate visitors with its intricate details and historical significance. The painting is a vertical composition, measuring approximately 127 cm x 103 cm, and is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of Spanish art and history.
