Broadside with 48 scenes depicting memorable events in Spain until 1840 1864

This 1864 woodcut by José María Marés, titled "Broadside with 48 Scenes Depicting Memorable Events in Spain until 1840," is a visual timeline of Spanish history. The work is arranged in a grid, with each square depicting a significant event, from the Reconquista to the early 19th century. The artist, José María Marés, created this work early in his career. The graphic nature of the woodcut and the small scale of each scene create a sense of narrative urgency and contribute to the historical breadth captured in this broadside. The work is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
