Portrait of Don Balthasar Carlos - After Velazquez, Exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1890
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing black and white print that showcases the likeness of Don Balthasar Carlos, the Infante of Spain and Prince of Asturias, on horseback. The image is believed to be an interpretation of the famous painting by Diego Velázquez, "Portrait of Infante Balthasar Carlos," which originally hung in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. This 19th-century print, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," Volume 42, July to December, 1890, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past. Don Balthasar Carlos, a member of the Habsburg dynasty, is depicted as a confident and strong rider, seated atop his horse with an air of regality. The horse, too, appears poised and obedient, its ears pricked forward, and its eyes focused on the prince. The print's composition is reminiscent of Velázquez's original work, with the prince dressed in the traditional attire of the Spanish court, complete with a ruff collar and a plumed hat. However, the print's creator remains unknown, adding an element of mystery to this historical artifact. The print's publication in "The Graphic" suggests that it was intended for a British audience, highlighting the global reach of the press during the Victorian era. The image's black and white tones add to its timeless quality, making it a captivating representation of the past and a testament to the enduring appeal of Velázquez's masterpiece. Overall, "Portrait of Don Balthasar Carlos: After Velazquez, Exhibited at the Royal Academy, 1890" is a striking example of the power of art to transcend time and place, and the role of the press in disseminating images and ideas across borders.
