EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait showcases Pablo Morillo y Morillo (1775-1837), a prominent Spanish military and marine figure of the 19th century, affectionately known as "El Pacificador" or "The Peacemaker." Born in the Canary Islands, Morillo rose through the ranks to become a count and marquess, serving under the reigns of Fernando VII and Ferdinand VII of Spain. During the tumultuous era of the Liberal Triennium, Morillo played a significant role in quelling rebellions and restoring order in the colonies, particularly in Venezuela. His military prowess and commitment to maintaining Spanish rule earned him the moniker "El Pacificador." This striking portrait, illustrated by Santiago Llanta, was published as part of the "Cronica General de Espana: Historia Ilustrada y Descriptiva de sus Provincias," a comprehensive historical work covering Asturias and Leon in 1867. The lithography, a popular method for producing high-quality images during the 19th century, captures the intricate details of Morillo's uniform and the solemn expression on his face, conveying the gravity of his role as a military leader and statesman. Morillo's career spanned the late Enlightenment and the early modern era, during which Spain underwent significant political and social changes. His legacy as a military commander and peacemaker continues to be celebrated in Spanish history, making this portrait a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the country's rich military and political past.
