EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the young Charles II of Spain, painted by the talented artist Sebastian de Herrera Barnuevo between 1667 and 1670. The image captures the innocence and vulnerability of a child destined to become one of history's most tragic figures. Charles II, also known as "El Hechizado" (The Bewitched), was born into the powerful House of Habsburg during the Baroque period. This painting beautifully exemplifies the artistic style of that era, with its rich colors and intricate details. Displayed in the esteemed State Hermitage collection in St. Petersburg, this oil on canvas artwork is a testament to both Charles II's royal lineage and his precarious health. The Habsburg dynasty's intermarriage practices resulted in numerous physical ailments for their descendants, including Charles II who suffered from severe physical disabilities. As we gaze upon this fine art piece, we are reminded not only of Charles II's regal presence but also his tragic fate as King of Spain. Despite his tender age depicted here, he would eventually ascend to power at just four years old and rule over a declining empire until his death. Herrera Barnuevo skillfully captures both the grandeur and fragility within this portrait - an enduring reminder of a troubled monarch whose reign marked an important chapter in Spanish history.
