EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Queen Mariana of Spain in a moment of profound mourning. Painted by Juan Bautista Martinez del Mazo in 1666, this oil on canvas print showcases the regal beauty and sorrowful demeanor of the queen. Seated gracefully, Queen Mariana exudes an air of elegance and poise despite her evident grief. Her eyes reflect deep sadness as she mourns the loss of her husband, Philip IV, and embraces her role as a grieving widow. The artist skillfully portrays her somber mood through delicate brushstrokes that emphasize every nuance of sorrow on her face. In this intimate interior setting, we see a faithful companion by Queen Mariana's side - a loyal dog who offers solace during these difficult times. Symbolizing loyalty and companionship, the presence of this pet adds depth to the composition. Surrounded by elements that represent charity and motherhood, such as children and nuns nearby, Queen Mariana's maternal instincts are highlighted alongside her regal stature. As both wife to Philip IV and mother to Don Carlos II, she played significant roles in Spanish history. Displayed at the National Gallery in London, UK, this masterpiece serves as a poignant reminder not only of Queen Mariana's personal grief but also reflects upon broader themes such as loss and resilience within royalty. Mazo's attention to detail brings forth emotions that resonate with viewers even centuries later.
