Spanish Princess 1780s
Written by Teresita Blanco (The Artsy Sister)
Here is a beautiful Spanish princess from the 1780s. During her time, the Spanish people where stuck in the 1500s. They still had to deal with the Inquisition. It was the final stronghold for that torturous institution. They where trying to hold onto that place with tooth and nail. Its hard trying to stay relevant.
The rest of Europe was slowly entering the modern age. A good chunk no longer believed in witches and magic. As such, the Inquisition was no longer relevant. So, Spain was its final stronghold. This is well noted in this pretty outfit. Princesses were still wearing the same thing for the last 200 years. Not that it is too horrible. The dress has plenty of pretty patterns.
