EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting, titled "Exchange of Princesses Anne of Austria and Isabella of Bourbon in the Isle of Pheasants on the river Bidasoa, November 9, 1615," is a masterpiece attributed to the renowned Flemish artist Pieter van der Meulen. The scene depicts an historic event that took place during the early modern era, when Princess Anne of Austria and Princess Isabella of Bourbon exchanged places as part of an agreement between their families, the House of Habsburg and the House of Bourbon. The painting captures the moment of the exchange, which took place on the Isle of Pheasants, located on the river Bidasoa, near the Spanish-French border. The day is bright and sunny, with the sunlight casting a warm glow over the scene. The princesses are shown standing outside, surrounded by a group of attendants and nobles, all dressed in the rich colors and finery of the Western European court. This painting holds significant historical importance, as it marks the beginning of a period of peace between France and Spain. The same location, the Isle of Pheasants, was where the Peace of the Pyrenees was signed in 1659, ending the Franco-Spanish War. The painting is now housed in the Monastery of the Incarnation in Madrid, Spain, an autonomous community, and is a testament to the rich artistic and historical heritage of the region.
