EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas portrait captures the noble and resolute visage of Alvaro de Bazan, Marques de Santa Cruz (1526-1588), a renowned Spanish sailor and military commander of the 16th century. The portrait, which dates back to the artist's unknown creation, is now proudly displayed at the Navy Museum in Madrid, Spain. Born into a noble family, Santa Cruz rose to prominence in the Spanish Navy, earning the title of Marques (Marquis) in 1569. He is best known for his victories against the English and French fleets during the Anglo-Spanish War and the Italian Wars. His most notable victory was the Battle of Lepanto in 1571, where he led the Spanish and Holy League forces to a decisive victory against the Ottoman Turks. The portrait showcases the elder Santa Cruz with a stern expression, reflecting his military prowess and unwavering determination. He is dressed in the attire of a high-ranking military officer, with a red cape draped over his shoulders and a golden chain adorning his neck. The rich colors and intricate details in the painting bring out the textures of the fabric and the subtle nuances in Santa Cruz's facial features, making for a captivating and lifelike representation of this historical figure. As a testament to his significant contributions to Spanish history, this portrait of Alvaro de Bazan, Marques de Santa Cruz, remains an essential piece in the Navy Museum's collection, providing a glimpse into the past and preserving the legacy of this remarkable Spanish sailor and military commander.
