EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving captures a significant moment in history - the engagement between the Count of Barcelona, Ramon Berenguer IV, and Petronilla of Aragon. The year is 1137, and amidst the political alliances of medieval Spain, this betrothal holds great importance for both regions. In this horizontal print, we see a young Petronilla at just two years old, adorned with regalia fit for her future role as Countess. Her delicate features are juxtaposed against the grandeur of her surroundings. Standing beside her is Ramon Berenguer IV himself, donning his military attire and holding a scepter symbolizing his authority. The image exudes an air of solemnity as these two figures stand before us in their ceremonial splendor. Their union represents not only a marriage alliance but also the merging of powerful families from Barcelona and Aragon. Santiago Ortega's masterful coloring brings life to every detail - from the intricate heraldry on their garments to the shimmering crown atop Petronilla's head. This private collection piece offers us a glimpse into an era long past yet still resonating with significance today. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we cannot help but marvel at its ability to transport us back in time. It serves as a reminder that love stories have always been intertwined with politics and power throughout human history.
