EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving depicts the dramatic scene of an attempted assassination on the Queen of Spain in the Long Gallery of the Royal Palace, Madrid. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a moment frozen in time. The composition showcases the grandeur and opulence of royalty, with ornate architecture and lavish furnishings adorning the gallery. In stark contrast to this elegance, chaos unfolds as a would-be assassin lunges towards Her Royal Highness, Isabella II of Spain. The tension is palpable as guards rush to protect their queen while she recoils in fear. The historical significance of this event is further emphasized by its publication in The Illustrated London News on February 14th, 1852. This engraving serves as both a visual record and a reminder of the dangers faced by those who hold positions of power. Through this artwork, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in Spanish history when regal authority was tested and lives were at stake. It reminds us that even within palatial walls, danger can lurk just around the corner. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece from their private collection for all to appreciate and reflect upon. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded not only of past events but also how art can capture emotions and narratives that transcend time itself.
