Traveling from Italy to Spain, we come across an impressive equestrian statue of King Philip III situated at Plaza Mayor in Madrid. Crafted with precision and skill by Ferdinando Tacca himself - an esteemed Italian Baroque sculptor - this statue captures the regal essence of Spanish royalty. Let's not forget about Philip IV of Spain. As king during Ferdinando Tacca's time, he played a significant role in commissioning magnificent artworks like these throughout his reign.
