Assault Barcelona Capucines Convent Glorious Journal Lillustration Revolution Riots Universel Risotto
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, published in a European journal in 1869, depicts the chaotic scene of the Glorious Revolution in Barcelona, Spain. The image captures the intensity and passion of the September Revolution, a pivotal moment in Spanish history. In the foreground, a group of civilians, dressed in white, are shown assaulting the Capuchin Convent on the Carrer de la Carrerada, a focal point of the uprising. The convent had been used as a barracks by the Spanish military, and its seizure was a symbolic victory for the revolutionaries. The streets of Barcelona are filled with the chaos of revolution. Rioters can be seen in the background, clashing with the military and overturning vehicles. Smoke rises from the buildings, indicating the intensity of the fighting. The image is reminiscent of a Risotto, an Italian term used to describe a chaotic and disorganized scene. The Glorious Revolution, also known as the Revolution of 1868, was a series of political upheavals in Spain that led to the overthrow of Queen Isabella II and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy. The revolution began in September 1868, and Barcelona was one of the key cities where the revolution took hold. The revolution was a response to the political and economic instability of the time, as well as the growing discontent with the monarchy. This powerful and evocative image, taken from an 1869 journal, provides a glimpse into the raw energy and passion of the Glorious Revolution in Barcelona. It is a testament to the power of the people to bring about change and to the enduring spirit of revolution.
