EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a study for the "Proclamation of Don Carlos" by John Frederick Lewis. The artwork, created using watercolour and bodycolour over graphite, measures 60.2x28.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford in the UK. The image transports us to Spain during the tumultuous Third Carlist War, capturing an atmospheric street scene filled with political unrest and military presence. The study depicts a pivotal moment as Don Carlos proclaims his royal succession amidst a backdrop of conflict and uprising. Lewis's romanticist style adds drama to this civil war narrative, emphasizing both the grandeur and turmoil surrounding Spanish royalty at that time. His attention to detail brings life to every element within the composition - from architectural structures lining the streets to individuals engaged in passionate discussions. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how art can serve as a powerful medium for exploring historical events and political dynamics. It offers us a glimpse into an era marked by intense power struggles and societal divisions while also showcasing Lewis's exceptional talent as an artist.
