EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Augustina the Maid of Saragossa" we are transported back to a moment in history that is both heroic and poignant. The image, created by renowned artist David Wilkie, depicts Augustina, a brave maid from Saragossa who played a significant role during the Spanish War of Independence. With her determined gaze and resolute stance, Augustina exudes strength and courage. She stands as a symbol of resistance against the French invaders who besieged her city. Her unwavering spirit inspired not only her fellow citizens but also poets like Lord Byron, who immortalized her in his epic poem "Childe Harold". The intricate details captured in this print highlight Wilkie's mastery as an engraver. Every line and stroke brings life to Augustina's character, showcasing her determination and resilience amidst the chaos surrounding her. This artwork serves as a reminder of the power that individuals possess when faced with adversity. It pays homage to those unsung heroes whose bravery often goes unnoticed but leaves an indelible mark on history. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us reflect upon the countless stories of ordinary people rising above extraordinary circumstances – just like Augustina did in Saragossa centuries ago.
