The Burial of Philip the Handsome (1478-1506) - A Majestic Farewell
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this engraving by the English School from the 19th century, we witness a solemn moment in history - the burial of Philip the Handsome. The print showcases an elaborate funeral procession held in honor of King Philip I, also known as Felipe el Hermoso I, and his wife Queen Juana la Loca (Joanna the Mad). The scene takes place at the Royal Chapel in Granada, Spain. As torches flicker and cast an ethereal glow on mourners gathered around, one can feel a sense of reverence permeating through every figure depicted. The composition beautifully captures both grief and grandeur. Philip's untimely death marked not only the end of his reign but also left Queen Joanna devastated. Their love story was marred by tragedy and madness, making their entombment all the more poignant. This print serves as a testament to historical significance while showcasing artistic mastery. Every intricate detail is meticulously etched onto paper, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in this somber event centuries later. As we gaze upon this powerful image from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded that even in death, kings and queens leave behind legacies that continue to captivate our imagination.
