EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a dramatic moment in history as King Philip II of Spain confronts his son, Prince Don Carlos, in a shocking act of betrayal. The scene unfolds on January 17,1567, when the king unexpectedly discovers his own son attempting to violate his stepmother and mother-in-law, Queen Elisabeth. This engraving from 1871 is part of "Histoire Des Cocus Celebres" by Henry de Kock. In this powerful image, we witness the anguish and fury etched on King Philip's face as he intervenes to protect Queen Elisabeth from her own stepson's assault. The tension between father and son is palpable as their eyes lock in a battle of wills. The queen stands frozen in fear and disbelief at the unimaginable violation she has narrowly escaped. This historical event exposes themes of jealousy, abuse, revenge, and familial turmoil within the Spanish royal family. It serves as a reminder that even those who hold immense power are not immune to personal struggles and betrayals. Stefano Bianchetti's masterful black-and-white engraving brings this intense moment to life with its intricate details and emotional depth. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an unforgettable episode that forever impacted the lives of these prominent figures in European history.
