La Constitución Española de 1812 en Goya

Abstract

We present the allegory of the Spanish Constitution engraved in 1812, and subsequently imitated by Goya in his portrait of king Fernando VII, painted in 1814 for the Town Hall of Santander. We explain the engraving of the Colossus, which seems to represent the position of the Moon on the constellation of Orion in the west on the evenings of March 19, 1812 and 1820. Thus this engraving becomes another allegory of the Spanish Constitution of 1812.
