EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the likeness of Alfonso de Santa Maria de Cartagena, also known as Alfonso de Carthagena or Alonso de Cartagena, a prominent figure in pre-Renaissance Spain. Born in 1384, he was a Jewish convert to Christianity who went on to become a Roman Catholic bishop, diplomat, historian, and writer.
The etching from which this image is derived is part of Retratos de Los Espanoles Ilustres, a publication from Madrid dating back to 1791. In this portrait, we see the dignified and scholarly visage of Alfonso de Santa Maria de Cartagena, reflecting his multifaceted roles within Spanish society during his lifetime.
Alfonso's legacy extends beyond his religious conversion and ecclesiastical duties; he was also an accomplished author whose works shed light on the cultural and political landscape of his era. His contributions to both literature and history have left an indelible mark on Spanish intellectual life.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the rich tapestry of influences that shaped Alfonso's identity – from his Jewish heritage to his Christian faith – as well as the enduring impact of his writings on our understanding of medieval Spain. This portrait serves as a testament to the complex interplay between religion, culture, and scholarship in Alfonso de Santa Maria de Cartagena's life.
