EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative lithograph depicts a pivotal moment in the Peninsular War (1808-1814), specifically the Battle of Saragossa on October 15, 1808. The scene unfolds before us as a group of brave Saragossan women, faces unwavering and defiant, confront a line of French dragoons. The women, dressed in white, stand tall and united, their determination etched on their faces as they face the advancing enemy. The vertical composition of the image emphasizes the height of the women's courage and the overwhelming presence of the French dragoons. The Battle of Saragossa was a turning point in the Peninsular War, with the Spanish forces, led by General Palafox, successfully defending the city against the French army under Marshal Soult. The siege lasted for over six months, and the resistance of the Saragossan women became a symbol of Spanish patriotism and resilience. This lithograph, housed in the National Library of Spain in Madrid, is a testament to the bravery and determination of the Saragossan women during the Peninsular War. The image captures a powerful and poignant moment in history, one that continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
