EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Marquis of las Navas, a prominent figure from the 16th century. Painted by the skilled artist Anthonis van Dashorst, also known as Antonio Moro, this oil on canvas masterpiece captures the essence of Spanish aristocracy during that era. The Marquis, Pedro Davila y Cordoba, is depicted in all his regal splendor. Dressed in attire befitting the Court of Philip II, he proudly displays the insignia of the Order of Calatrava. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold and crease in his doublet has been meticulously captured. However, what truly sets this portrait apart is its symbolic elements. In an intriguing twist, we see Death personified as a skeleton lurking at the top left corner. This memento mori serves as a reminder of life's transience and mortality even for those who hold power and wealth. It is believed that this painting was created to commemorate Pedro Davila's marriage to Jeronima Enrique de Guzman in 1559. The composition exudes both strength and vulnerability simultaneously - a testament to Moro's artistic prowess. Preserved at Hospital Tavera in Toledo, Spain, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its rich historical significance and artistic brilliance. It offers us a glimpse into an era long gone but forever immortalized through artistry and skillful brushstrokes.
