EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning engraving, titled "Royal Palace of Barcelona Illuminated on the Occasion of the Arrival of Charles III and Mariana Amalia of Saxony," is a beautiful depiction of a historic moment in Spanish history. The image, created by the skilled hand of Ignacio Valls, captures the grandeur and elegance of the Royal Palace of Barcelona as it was illuminated to welcome the new king and queen of Spain in 1759. Charles III, the eldest son of King Philip V, ascended to the throne following his father's death. Mariana Amalia of Saxony was his bride, whom he married in 1751. The couple's arrival in Barcelona marked the beginning of their reign, and the city came alive with celebrations to honor the new monarchs. The engraving showcases the illuminated facade of the Royal Palace of Barcelona, adorned with intricate designs and patterns. The reflection of the lights in the water of the moat surrounding the palace adds to the overall beauty and majesty of the scene. The image is a testament to the artistic and architectural prowess of the time, as well as the grandeur and splendor of the Spanish monarchy. This etching, which is part of the vast collection of the National Library of Spain in Madrid, is a valuable historical document that offers a glimpse into the past. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Spain and the significance of the Royal Palace of Barcelona as a symbol of power and prosperity.
