The Cardinal-Infante is depicted in full body armor, with a black hat, a staff and a red sash. He is portrayed as a general of the Spanish Armies during the Battle of Nördlingen when, in 1634, they took on the Protestant army. Near him, the allegory of fury and the eagle and lightening bolts of Jupiter allude to his dashing force. A battle scene occupies the background. Rubens painted this wo
This is one of the elegant hunting scenes Wouwerman painted in the early 1660s that reveal his extraordinary talent as landscape artist. In these works, rather than depicting a hunting scene set in front of a landscape, as was typical of his A Stop at an Inn (P2152), he presents a vast panoramic view that occupies the entire surface and is adorned with figures of hunters and animals, diverse genre

Renaissance painting abounds with representations of Christ bearing the cross on the road to Calvary, either as an isolated figure, or with an executioner assailing him, or accompanied by soldiers, curious bystanders and followers, among whom the depiction of Simon of Cyrene is relatively common. According to three of the evangelists (Matthew 27:32-33, Mark 15:21-22, and Luke 23:26-27), Simon carr
El retrato representa a un hombre de unos treinta años, de rasgos pronunciados y barba. La atención se concentra en el rostro, que no parece juntarse al cuerpo, vagamente bosquejado debajo. La posición centrada y frontal de la cara en el primer plano produce una impresión de proximidad y confianza, y la pincelada libre y desigual en el vacío del fondo concede al retrato una sensación movida, al ig
The figure has been identified as Saint Clement, a pope and a martyr from the 1st century (92–101). Originally Jewish, Saint Peter converted him to Christianity. According to tradition, he became a martyr by being thrown into the Black Sea with an anchor around his neck. In 867, Saints Cyril and Methodius transferred his remains to Rome and in so doing catalysed his devotional following. He is alw
El dibujo presenta a la Virgen sentada en el centro, con los brazos extendidos mientras que varios angelitos y querubines revolotean a su alrededor. En la parte baja se representa a la serpiente con la manzana y en la parte superior, Dios Padre con el cetro se acerca a coronar a la Virgen.Lleva una atribución antigua a Antonio Grano, del que existen escasas noticias como dibujante; sin embargo, es
Goya’s Album C exemplifies the complexity of his work. Made during the Peninsular War and the posterior repression under the reign of Ferdinand VII, it addresses subjects linked to many facets of that period.
