EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling Plaza Mayor of Madrid in the 17th century with this exquisite print by Juan de la Corte. The Baroque painter captures a moment of joy and celebration, as people gather in the main square for festivities circa 1630.
The detail in this painting is truly remarkable, from the intricate clothing worn by both men and women to the majestic horses galloping through the plaza. The equestrian element adds a sense of grandeur to the scene, as cavalry soldiers ride proudly amongst the crowd.
One can almost hear the sounds of laughter and music echoing through the streets as people come together to celebrate. The vibrant colors and lively atmosphere depicted by de la Corte transport viewers back to a time when Madrid was at its most splendid.
This piece is not just a painting; it is a window into history, offering us a glimpse into Spanish society during the Modern Age. It serves as a reminder of how art has always been intertwined with culture and tradition, capturing moments that would otherwise be lost to time.
Experience the magic of old-world Spain with this stunning print from Prisma Archivo Fotografico - an ode to festivity, royalty, and life in one of Europe's most captivating cities.
