"The Surrender of Granada in 1492" is a significant historical painting by the Spanish artist Francisco Pradilla y Ortiz, created in 1882. This monumental work, measuring 330 x 550 cm, is housed in the Palacio del Senado, Madrid. The painting depicts the culmination of the Reconquista, a pivotal moment in Spanish history when the Catholic Monarchs, Queen Isabella I of Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon, received the keys to the city of Granada from the last Nasrid king, Muhammad XII, known as Boabdil.

Pradilla y Ortiz, born in Villanueva de Gállego, Zaragoza, in 1848, was a prominent figure in 19th-century Spanish art, known for his historical scenes and elaborate compositions. His work on "The Surrender of Granada in 1492" is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail, dramatic representation of the event, and its emotional portrayal of the characters involved. The artist conducted extensive research to ensure historical accuracy, including the accurate depiction of costumes, armor, and architecture of the period.

The painting is a masterful example of the historical genre that was popular in the 19th century, reflecting a romanticized view of the past. It captures the pathos of the moment, with Boabdil's downcast gaze symbolizing the end of Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula and the beginning of a unified Spain under Christian leadership. The work is also notable for its rich color palette and the interplay of light and shadow, which adds to the dramatic effect.

"The Surrender of Granada in 1492" has been widely reproduced and remains one of Pradilla y Ortiz's most famous works. It is often referenced in discussions of Spanish art and history, and it continues to be an important visual document of the Reconquista and the complex cultural shifts that shaped Spain's national identity.
