EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking oil on canvas portrait captures the determined and resolute countenance of Bureta, Maric Consolacízlor, Countess of (1775-1814), a prominent figure in the defense of Zaragoza during the Peninsular War. The painting, hailing from the Army Museum in Toledo, Spain, showcases the Countess in an upright and vertical composition, dressed in the elegant attire of the time, adorned with jewels and a sash bearing the insignia of her noble title. The Countess of Bureta played a crucial role in the defense of Zaragoza during the Saragossan siege in 1809, a significant event during the Peninsular War. She organized and led the defense of the city's women and children, inspiring courage and resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. The siege lasted for over six months, and the city ultimately fell to the French forces, but the heroic efforts of the Countess and her fellow defenders became the stuff of legend. The rich colors and intricate details of the painting bring the Countess's story to life, transporting us back to a time of war and courage. The painting is a testament to the strength and determination of the women of Zaragoza during the Peninsular War, and a reminder of the important role they played in the defense of their city and their country. This historical portrait is a must-see for anyone interested in European history, particularly the Peninsular War and the brave women who defied the odds to protect their homes and families.
