Year: 4th ESO 

Topic: 19th century in Spain. 

We had to study Kingdom of Amadeo of Savoy , The Glorious Revolution and First Republic in Spain in 19th century.

The Picture is called The visit of King Amadeo. It represents the visit of King Amadeo to coffin of politician Prim. It was painted by Antonio Gisbert in 1870.

First of all:

I have prepared a powerpoint presentation about Romanticism. Last slide is The visit of King Amadeo. We can use this image to do this activity.

Firstly in common:
-analyze color, drawing, perspective, light..
-Explain which characters appear, to which social classes they belong.
-Identify characteristics of romanticism such as an expression of feelings or the glorification of national history through the elements of the picture.

Second:

They will work in pairs answering these questions:

What had happened?

What's happening?

Explain the historical situation and the consequences of this image.
