Charles III (as Charles VII of Naples and Sicily)
Ca. 1745. Taille douce: etching and engraving on ivory laid paper. Not on displayDerived from a portrait by Giuseppe Bonito, this print presents the most emblematic image of the King of Naples and Sicily. It shows the sovereign in military attire, perhaps in reference to his victory over the Austrians in the Battle of Velletri of 1744, which definitively secured the Italian territories he was to reign over.
