EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait, titled "Charles II, King of Spain" captures the essence of a troubled ruler during the 17th century. Painted by Don Juan Carreno de Miranda in approximately 1673, this oil on canvas print measures an impressive 175.3x110.5 cm and is currently housed at Pollok House Museum in Glasgow, Scotland. The subject of this painting is Charles II, also known as Charles II the Bewitched or El Hechizado. As a member of the Habsburg dynasty and ruler of Spain from 1661 to 1700, his reign was marked by fragility and ill health due to generations of intermarriage within his family. In this portrait, Charles II is depicted with fair hair and delicate features that emphasize his sickly appearance. Dressed in traditional royal attire adorned with the Order of the Golden Fleece insignia folded over his chest, he holds a letter symbolizing both his fragile state and the weighty responsibilities that come with being king. Carreno de Miranda's attention to detail brings out every nuance of Charles II's character - from his pensive expression to his regal posture. The artist masterfully captures not only physical likeness but also conveys a sense of historical significance through this powerful portrayal. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to European history during the seventeenth century while shedding light on one monarch's tumultuous journey through power amidst personal challenges.
