Exaltados

the members of a party of left-wing liberals in Spain during the revolution of 1820–23; also known as the New Liberals or the Liberals of 1820.

The exaltados included bourgeois and petit bourgeois urban elements, as well as certain officers, officials, and nobles. Their leaders were Flores de Estrado, Moreno Herra, Romero Alpuente, and R. Riego y Nuñez. Many of the exaltados were Masons. The extreme left-wing elements of the party broke away from the exaltados and formed the independent group known as the Comuneros.

The exaltados formed a government on Aug. 5, 1822. In May 1823 they achieved the passage of a law they had proposed to abolish seignorial rights, but they were unable to carry out the law because of intervention by France. The government of the exaltados, together with part of the Cortes and King Ferdinand VII, whom the exaltados held captive, moved to the Isla de León, where it surrendered on Sept. 30,1823. After the outbreak of the revolution of 1834–43, many of the former exaltados joined the Progressive Party.

Un aspecto menos tratado en la historia de la Reforma es la contribucion directa o indirecta de las mujeres: aqui se habla de Catalina von Bora, esposa de Martin Lutero, Catalina Zell que participo activamente y con escritos propios, y Caritas Pirckheimer, la erudita abadesa de un convento de clarisas que, sin ceder a las presiones de los exaltados, se mostro abierta y dialogante con reformadores como Melanchton.

Estos cuadros pueden organizarse en tres grupos: los que destacan flores pequenas y sus pedunculos y tallos, que dan relieve a la cuasigeometrica distribucion espacial de estos ultimos; los que exhiben con desenfado y sobre fondos contrastantes las flores tropicales de tejidos carnosos y colores exaltados, y los que citan de manera deliberada las composiciones de flores, hojas y tallos de los dibujos de la expedicion botanica de la Nueva Granada en el siglo XVIII.
