First liberal government of the Triennium, 1891 (print)

History of Spain. Liberal Triennium (1820-1823). First liberal government of the Triennium (April 1820). The liberal deputies of different factions (moderate and radical) José Canga Argüelles (1771-1842) and Antonio Alcalá Galiano (1789-1865) are carried in triumph by the people of Seville, after a session of the Cortes, held in the church of the Jesuit College of San Hermenegildo. Both politicians had prioritised patriotic sentiment over political party confrontation and were honoured by the people. This is how the revolutionary people responded to the threats of the Holy Alliance. Due to the advance of the Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis, the Cortes moved to Seville (from April to June 1823). Illustration by Serra Pausas. Chromolithography.
