The image of the Spanish Monarchy in the Eighteenth-Century

If the Monarchy is the incarnation of the continuity, the Spanish Monarchy of the eighteenth century, without giving up to its roots and to its inheritance, will seek to present such as a promoter of the change and of the modernisation. After the powerful image of the Monarchy of the Austrias, the Borbones will try to build its own image, a new picture, reformist, specific to the century of the Reason and of Enlightenment, an at the same time Spanish and European image, inspired by the French Monarchy, but that sought be faithful to herself, creating an own model. Monarchy and dynasty were combined to create an original and distinctive style.
