1. Title: Tulga, Visigothic King of Hispania (639-642) This 18th century engraving depicts Tulga, the Visigothic King of Hispania, who ruled from 639 to 642. Tulga was the son and successor of Chintila, and his reign marked a significant period in the history of the Visigoths in Europe. The vertical, upright portrait showcases a mature man with a serious expression, dressed in the attire of the time. His masculine features are accentuated by the stark contrast between the black background and the white engraving. The intricate details of his clothing, including the fur-trimmed mantle and the ornate belt, are skillfully rendered in the litography technique. The Visigoths were a Germanic people who had migrated to the Iberian Peninsula in the 5th century. They established a kingdom that lasted until the 8th century, leaving a lasting impact on the region's history and culture. Tulga's reign was marked by internal strife and external threats, including the Byzantine Empire and the Moors. Despite these challenges, Tulga managed to maintain the Visigothic kingdom's territorial integrity and strengthen its administrative structures. This engraving is an important historical document that provides a glimpse into the appearance and status of a 6th century European ruler. It is a testament to the artistic and technical achievements of the 18th century, and a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the Visigoths in Europe. The image is an 18th century engraving, likely produced using the litography technique, which involved creating an image on a flat surface using a greasy substance and then transferring it to paper using a printing press. This method allowed for the production of high-quality, detailed prints that were widely disseminated and collected. This image is not to be confused with any commercial entity or company named "Tulga," and is available for historical and educational use only.
