Maria de las Mercedes (1860-1878): Queen Consort of Spain This stunning oil on canvas portrait captures the enchanting likeness of Maria de las Mercedes of Borbon, the Queen Consort of Spain, painted around the year of her untimely death in 1878. The portrait, created by an anonymous artist from Sevilla, showcases the young queen in an elegant and regal pose, dressed in the finest attire of the time. The interior setting, with its rich colors and ornate details, adds to the grandeur of the image, reflecting the opulence of the Spanish monarchy during the late 19th century. Maria de las Mercedes was the wife of Alfonso XII, the King of Spain, and the eldest daughter of the Duke of Parma. Her marriage to Alfonso was a significant political alliance, as it strengthened the ties between Spain and the House of Bourbon. Tragically, Maria de las Mercedes passed away at the young age of 18, just a few months after giving birth to her son, Alfonso XIII. Her death left a deep impact on the Spanish people, who mourned the loss of their beloved queen. This portrait is now housed in the Fine Arts Museum of Sevilla, Spain, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors with its beauty and historical significance. The vertical composition and vibrant colors of the painting add to its allure, making it a must-see for art lovers and history buffs alike.
