Artist: Charles Porion (French, 1814-1884)

Date: c. 1862

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain

Description

This large-format group portrait is an ideal representation of the General Staff of the Spanish Army. In the centre of the composition Queen Isabel II, dressed in the uniform of captain general, wearing the Golden Fleece around her neck and the band of the Grand Cross of the Order of Charles III with its scallop shell across her chest; on her chest and under her lapel two other Grand Crosses can be seen, that of Charles III and Isabel la Católica (Project cataloguing heraldic and phaleristic elements, Royal Academy of Heraldry and Genealogy of Madrid).

The queen heads the cavalcade accompanied by her husband Francisco de Asís de Borbón y Borbón Dos Sicilias , also dressed as a captain general, and by Francisco de Paula , infante of Spain . Accompanying the young queen, Porion portrays some of the military men who took part in the final days of Isabel II 's government: Narváez, O'Donell and Prim, who appear prominently alongside other generals who had already died at the time the work was created, such as Digo de León and Palafox.

team green: where there should be the open arms of affection and love, there is only duty, cold and bitter like steel on the tongue. from the guilt and shame of failing to follow the rigid rules, festers secrecy, lies, and resentment.

team black: where there should be order, words that should be heeded, and actions strategically followed, there is only desire- all consuming that it blinds you to what must be done for the betterment of others. from constant shortsighted follies, grow dire consequences, mistrust, and carelessness.

Okay, thanks, Modus et Boar!!! This is exactly the marriage of labor idea I have of show! Helaena and Aegon. It's a frustrating dynamic but also very tragically beautiful toward the end.
