EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable portrait of Don Carlos, Prince of Asturias and Portugal, painted by Alonso Sanchez Coello in approximately 1558. The oil on canvas artwork measures 109x95 cm and is currently housed at the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. The subject of this exquisite painting is Don Carlos (1545-68), the eldest son of Philip II of Spain and Maria Manuela of Portugal. At just 12 or 13 years old, this portrait captures a young prince who suffered from physical malformations but is depicted here with idealized beauty. Alonso Coello's talent shines through as he skillfully portrays the prince wearing a luxurious fur cape adorned with an elegant lynx fur collar. Don Carlos dons a regal hat embellished with feathers that adds to his noble appearance. Despite his tender age, there is an air of maturity surrounding him. This photograph provides us with a glimpse into history before the restoration carried out in 1990. It allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind Coello's early work and the significance of capturing such an important figure during their formative years. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when royalty was immortalized through portraiture. This portrayal not only highlights Don Carlos' position within Spanish royalty but also serves as a testament to artistic excellence during this period in Spanish history.
