EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting depicts Juan Aldaz y Sancho's rendition of Maria Cristina de Habsburgo, the Queen Consort of Spain from 1886 to 1902. The late 19th-early 20th century artwork is a testament to the artist's mastery of capturing the regal beauty and elegance of the Queen. Maria Cristina, born in Vienna, Austria, was the last Habsburg queen of Spain. She married King Alfonso XII in 1879, and upon his death in 1885, she became regent for her son, Alfonso XIII, who was only five years old at the time. Her reign was marked by political instability and economic hardship, but she managed to maintain order and stability, earning the respect and admiration of her people. The painting captures the Queen's feminine grace and refinement. She is depicted wearing the traditional Habsburg crown and a flowing white gown adorned with intricate gold embroidery. Her dark hair is styled in an elegant chignon, and her expressive eyes convey a sense of strength and determination. The painting is currently housed in the Ministry of Treasury in Madrid, Spain, a fitting location for this important work of art. Aldaz y Sancho's portrayal of Maria Cristina de Habsburgo is a beautiful and enduring tribute to the Queen's legacy and the rich artistic heritage of Spain.
