1. Title: "Jose del Campillo y Cossio (1693-1743): A Spanish Statesman of the Bourbon Reforms Era" This lithograph depicts Jose del Campillo y Cossio (1693-1743), a prominent Spanish statesman and economist of the 18th century. Born in Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Campillo y Cossio played a significant role in the political and financial landscape of Spain during the Bourbon reign, particularly under King Philip V. The image, created by the skilled hand of Llanta, showcases Campillo y Cossio in the formal attire of the time, complete with a voluminous wig, a symbol of the aristocracy. His serious expression and piercing gaze convey a sense of determination and focus, reflecting his dedication to implementing reforms and shaping the economic policies of the Spanish monarchy. Campillo y Cossio's influence extended beyond his native Asturias and Leon, where this print was published in the 19th century as part of the "Cronica General de Espana: Historia Ilustrada y Descriptiva de sus Provincias." His expertise in finance and economics led him to serve as a minister under King Philip V, where he advocated for the implementation of modernizing reforms aimed at revitalizing the Spanish economy. This engraving serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Campillo y Cossio, whose contributions to Spanish politics and policy continue to be studied and celebrated in European history. The intricately detailed lithography by Llanta masterfully captures the essence of this influential figure, offering a glimpse into the political and cultural climate of Spain during the Bourbon era.
