EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a woodcut artwork titled "Alfonso XI, King of Castile and Leon, on Horseback" created by the Spanish School in the 16th century. The image depicts Alfonso XI, a sovereign ruler, mounted on his majestic horse with an air of regal authority. Clad in exquisite apparel and armed with a sword, he exudes power and confidence. The woodcut is believed to be part of the Chronica del muy esclarecido Principe e Rey don Alfonso el Onzeno, published in 1551. Measuring 28x19 cm, this historic piece has been preserved in a private collection. The composition captures the mid-16th-century fashion trends through its detailed depiction of clothing and caparison adorned by both the king and his noble steed. The raised arm posture suggests an assertive stance as Alfonso rides gallantly into battle or perhaps during a ceremonial event. This remarkable woodcut print offers us insight into the monarchy's grandeur during that era while also serving as a testament to Spanish artistry. Its intricate details and rich symbolism make it an invaluable historical artifact that continues to fascinate viewers today.
