Andes Belltower Busy Capital Mayor Neo Classical Architecture Catedral Primada Daily Life Scene

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Plaza de Bolivar in Bogota, Colombia, in the year 1837. The artist, J. Castillo, skillfully captures the essence of this historical square with watercolors on paper. The Plaza de Bolivar is named after Simon Bolivar, a prominent figure in South American history who played a crucial role in liberating several countries from Spanish rule. This bustling plaza serves as a central hub for daily life and showcases various architectural marvels. In the foreground stands the majestic Catedral Primada, completed just fourteen years prior in 1823. Its neo-classical design exudes grandeur and elegance against the backdrop of towering mountains that are part of the Andes range. As we delve deeper into this scene, we notice a vibrant crowd going about their daily activities amidst this lively capital city. The plaza's Capilla del Sagrario adds to its colonial charm while nearby bell towers stand tall as symbols of faith and tradition. This print not only offers us a glimpse into Bogota's rich history but also allows us to appreciate how time has transformed this iconic landmark over centuries. It is truly an exquisite piece that captures both architectural beauty and everyday life during this era.
