EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning illustration of Philip II of Spain, captured in the years 1631-1640. The portrait is based on an original painting from the esteemed studio of Rubens, which can be found in the Royal Collection at Windsor Castle. Philip II, who reigned as King of Spain from 1556 to 1598, is depicted here as a powerful monarch astride a magnificent horse. Clad in an elaborate suit of armor with spurs and stirrups, he exudes strength and authority. An allegorical figure stands beside him, holding an ostrich feather - a symbol often associated with royalty. Intriguingly, amidst this regal scene lies a subtle touch of nudity; however, it adds to the artistic allure rather than detracting from it. The female figure wears only minimal clothing and adorns herself with an elegant hat that perfectly complements her Elizabethan attire. The composition beautifully captures the essence of Spanish royalty during the sixteenth century. It evokes images of grandeur and power while showcasing intricate details such as feathers and ornate engravings. This remarkable print was published by Boussod, Valadon & Co in 1896 and has since become a treasured piece for art enthusiasts around the world. Its monochrome presentation enhances its timeless appeal while allowing viewers to appreciate every nuance within this historical masterpiece.
