Monument to Queen Isabella the Catholic: Overall view, from below and left

Date

Circa 1910

Creator

G. Massiot & cie
Part of: Architectural Lantern Slides of Spain
Architecture Library, Hesburgh Libraries

Only a limited number of works by Oms y Canet have survived, but they include the monument to Queen Isabella the Catholic (1883; Madrid, La Castellana Avenue). As a result of the intervention of José Maria Casado del Alisal, a former director of the Academia Española de Bellas Artes in Rome, and Francisco Pradilla, this work, which was designed during Oms y Canet's period in Rome, was cast in bronze and exhibited publicly. The Queen, carrying a cross, appears on horseback; at her side are Cardinal Francisco Jiménez de Cisneros and the Gran Capitán, leading the horse by the bridle.
