EDITORS COMMENTS
El enfermo por la Constitución" (The sick because of the Constitution), is a poignant and evocative lithograph depicting a scene from the tumultuous period in Spanish history between 1810 and 1814. The image, created during this time, is now housed in the Museo de Historia in Madrid, Spain. The print, which is in a horizontal format, shows a sick and emaciated man lying on a bed, surrounded by worried and concerned onlookers. The man's gaunt face, sunken eyes, and thin, bony frame are clear indicators of his grave condition. The people in the room, dressed in the clothing of the early 19th century, are deeply engaged in the scene, their expressions conveying a sense of sadness, concern, and helplessness. The color palette of the print is muted, with the predominant colors being shades of brown and gray, reflecting the somber mood of the scene. The use of shadow and light adds depth and texture to the image, creating a sense of three-dimensionality. The title of the print, "El enfermo por la Constitución," suggests that the man's illness is a result of the political turmoil and instability that characterized Spain during this period. The Constitution of 1812, which granted various civil liberties and political rights to the Spanish people, was met with resistance from the conservative elements of Spanish society, leading to a series of uprisings and conflicts. The print is a powerful reminder of the human cost of political upheaval and instability, and serves as a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and convey the complexities of history.
