EDITORS COMMENTS

Created by Fray Juan Batista Maino or Mayno, this masterpiece measures an impressive 309x381 cm and can be found at the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. The painting depicts the victorious recapture of the Bay of San Salvador from Dutch troops during the early 17th century. It is part of a series commissioned for the Salon de Reinos in the Palace of Buen Retiro, showcasing various triumphs throughout Spanish history. In this particular scene, we see Don Gaspar de Guzman, Count-Duke of Olivares and Philip IV, King of Spain observing Fadrique de Toledo as he leads his Portuguese-Spanish forces to reclaim their stronghold. The composition exudes drama and tension with wounded soldiers strewn across a chaotic battlefield while ships engage in fierce combat on turbulent waters. Maino's attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke brings life to each character's expression and conveys their emotions amidst war. The artist drew inspiration from Lope de Vega's play which adds further depth to this historical narrative. "The Recovery of the Bay of San Salvador" serves as both an artistic marvel and a testament to Spain's military prowess during that era. Its sheer size commands attention while its intricate storytelling captivates viewers.
