EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts Ricardo Balaca y Orejas-Canseco, a prominent Spanish military figure during the War of Spanish Succession (1701-1714). The image, taken from the Battle of Almansa on April 25, 1707, is a significant moment in Spanish history as it marked the turning point of the war in favor of the Bourbon dynasty. Born in 1844, Balaca y Orejas-Canseco rose to prominence as a military commander under the leadership of the Duke of Savoy, who supported the Bourbon cause. The Battle of Almansa was a decisive victory for the Bourbon forces, with Balaca y Orejas-Canseco playing a crucial role in the battle's outcome. The print showcases Balaca y Orejas-Canseco in full military regalia, with a determined expression on his face and a sword in hand. The battlefield behind him is chaotic, with smoke rising from the guns and the clash of swords and horses in the distance. The importance of this battle is underscored by the fact that it effectively ended the War of Spanish Succession in Spain, although fighting continued in other parts of Europe. Balaca y Orejas-Canseco's legacy as a military hero is still celebrated in Spain today, and this print is a testament to his bravery and leadership during the Battle of Almansa. The War of Spanish Succession was a pivotal moment in European history, and this image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the events and personalities that shaped the course of history.
