EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving depicts Charles, Prince of Viana, also known as Charles IV of Navarre, a significant figure in the late Middle Ages of Spain. Born in 1421, he was the son of King John II of Aragon and Queen Blanche I of Navarre, making him a member of the House of Trastamara. The prince is shown here seated on a throne, dressed in the regal attire of the time, with a serious yet thoughtful expression on his face. Charles' life was marked by political intrigue and power struggles. He was a claimant to the throne of Navarre, which was in conflict with the Crown of Castile. The background of the engraving shows a castle and a city, possibly representing the kingdoms in dispute. Despite these challenges, Charles is remembered as a man of learning and culture, with a strong interest in literature and the arts. He was also a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The engraving, produced during the 15th century, is a testament to the artistic skills of the time. The intricate details of the prince's clothing, the throne, and the surrounding landscape are beautifully rendered, making for a visually stunning image. The use of color adds depth and richness to the print, bringing the figure of Charles, Prince of Viana, to life in a way that a image could not. This print is an invaluable resource for historians and scholars studying the late Middle Ages in Spain, providing a glimpse into the life and times of a complex and fascinating figure. The House of Trastamara played a significant role in the political landscape of the Iberian Peninsula during this period, and this image offers a unique perspective on the dynasty and its members.
