EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print captures a solemn moment in history - the last rites of Queen Maria de las Mercedes Orleans, wife of Alphonse XII, the queen of Spain. The drawing, skillfully executed by Alejandro Ferrant and published in the Ilustracion espanola y americana, portrays this significant event with great detail and emotion. In this 19th-century artwork, Queen Maria is depicted lying on her deathbed as she receives the final sacraments from a clergyman. The artist's use of color adds depth to the scene while maintaining a somber tone. The horizontal composition allows for an intimate view into this private moment within Spanish royalty. The image serves as a testament to the rich history of Spain's royal families and their enduring legacy. It offers viewers a glimpse into an era where tradition and ceremony played vital roles in society. Santiago Ortega's masterful printmaking technique further enhances the impact of this historical document. As we reflect upon this piece, let us remember Queen Maria de las Mercedes Orleans for her contributions to Spanish culture and her role as queen consort. This drawing not only preserves her memory but also invites us to contemplate our own mortality and the significance of rituals such as last rites that accompany life's inevitable end.
