The materialization of this principle is even more evident in the period between 1868-1874, all the more so since it is precisely one of the specific features of the liberal progressivism of the 19th century bourgeoisie, desire, enunciated as an ideological principle, to liberalize the world of culture and put it at the service of greater social participation.

This study brings together his many personal and artistic relationships within the framework of the cosmopolitan Hispanic court and through a lifetime of travels. His humanist interests materialised in his library and his antiquarian collection, of which the National Archaeological Museum possesses nine Roman pieces from the Magalia castle-palace in Las Navas del Marqués and two Vettones boars from the Dávila palace in Ávila. In addition, this institution holds the funerary tombstone of the 1st Marquises of Las Navas, the main work of art commissioned by Pedro Dávila, which raises the idea of love post mortem in a virtuoso literary and iconographic exercise on true friendship, conjugal love and the rites of marriage.
