Prison of don Fernando de Valenzuela

1866. Oil on canvas.
On display elsewhere

The painting depicts Fernando de Valenzuela (Naples, 1636–Mexico, 1692), First Marquis of Villasierra. After the death of King Philip IV, he became a confidant of the king’s widow, Mariana of Austria, and so obtained various palace positions. Because of his political intrigues, in 1677 he was arrested by order of Juan José de Austria in the Monasterio del Escorial and sentenced to exile in the Philippines. He spent his last days in New Spain.
