Ruy Velazquez Promises Doña Lambra that He Will Avenge the Death of the Villager
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating etching by the Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, created in the early 17th century as part of his series "The History of the Seven Sons of Lara." This powerful image, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United States, depicts a poignant moment from the legendary Spanish epic poem, "The Song of the Seven Lara Princes." In the print, Ruy Velazquez, one of the seven princes, is shown seated before Doña Lambra, a mourning woman, who clutches a letter in her hand. The villager, lying at her feet, has been slain, and Ruy Velazquez, with a determined look in his eyes, gestures towards the deceased, vowing to avenge his death. The contrast between the calm, seated figure of Ruy Velazquez and the distraught Doña Lambra, along with the stark black and white contrast of the etching, adds to the emotional intensity of the scene. Tempesta's masterful use of hand gestures and lettering in the print effectively conveys the narrative and the emotions of the characters. The etching is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of both Europe and America during the Baroque era, and its inclusion in the LACMA collection is a testament to its historical significance. The print invites viewers to delve deeper into the legend of the Seven Sons of Lara and the timeless themes of vengeance, justice, and love.
