EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Ferdinand Alvarez de Toledo y Pimentel, the 3rd Duke of Alba, also known as the Iron Duke. Dressed in an imposing suit of armor adorned with a chain representing his membership in the prestigious Order of the Golden Fleece, he exudes power and authority. The duke's choice to pose with a wolfskin draped over his shoulder adds an element of fierceness and primal strength to his image. The presence of human skulls further emphasizes his reputation as a formidable military leader, feared by many. In one hand, he confidently holds a gleaming sword symbolizing his prowess on the battlefield. A dagger rests at his side, ready for any close combat encounters that may arise. Completing this impressive arsenal is a flintlock pistol - a testament to both his strategic thinking and modern weaponry. Created by Adriaen van der Werff and engraved by Pieter Stevens van Gunst in the 18th century, this copperplate engraving showcases not only Ferdinand Alvarez de Toledo y Pimentel but also serves as a window into European history during that time period. With its intricate details and decorative border, this print from Fine Art Finder invites viewers to delve into the fascinating life and legacy of one of Europe's most influential historical figures.
