EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature painting, titled "Portrait of Several Kings of Asturias and Leon" or "Ordo Ramiro" (Order of Ramiro), is a magnificent example of Spanish illuminated manuscript art from the 15th century. Created by the renowned artist Alonso de Cartagena (1384-1456), this work is currently housed in the National Library of Spain in Madrid. The painting depicts several kings from the Asturian and Leonese dynasties, including Alfonso III of Asturias, Ramiro I of Leon, Ordoño II of Asturias, and Alfonso VI of Leon. Each king is portrayed in his regal attire, seated on a throne, and holding a scepter or orb, symbolizing their royal power and authority. The intricate details of their clothing, the rich colors, and the meticulous gold embellishments all contribute to the grandeur and majesty of the painting. The Ordo Ramiro is a genealogical manuscript, which means it was created to record the lineage and succession of the kings of Asturias and Leon. The manuscript was likely commissioned by the royal court to reinforce the legitimacy of the ruling dynasty and to establish a clear line of succession. The painting serves as a visual representation of the historical and political significance of these monarchs. Alonso de Cartagena was a prominent painter and illuminator during the Spanish Golden Age. He is known for his intricate and detailed miniature paintings, which often featured religious, historical, and mythological themes. The Ordo Ramiro is a testament to his artistic skill and the rich cultural heritage of medieval Spain.
