EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning portrait of a woman, believed to be Isabella I of Castile, dating back to the late 15th or early 16th century. Originally thought to depict Mary Tudor, further examination revealed that the sitter adorns herself with the Crown Jewels of Castile, indicating her true identity as Isabella I (1451-1504). This remarkable piece was featured in "The Connoisseur" magazine in 1930 and is now preserved for art enthusiasts and history lovers alike. Isabella I, also known as Isabel la Catolica or Isabel the Catholic, was a prominent monarch who played a significant role in shaping Spain's rich history during the Renaissance period. The painting beautifully captures her regal presence and elegance through its meticulous attention to detail. The golden hues and vibrant colors used emphasize her royal status while highlighting her exquisite jewelry collection. The necklace adorned with pearls gracefully drapes around Isabella's neck, adding an air of sophistication and refinement. Her gaze exudes confidence and wisdom befitting a queen. This portrait serves as a testament to Isabella's power and influence during her reign. As we delve into this historical masterpiece captured by Michael Sittow or Michel Sittow (also known as Michiel Sittow), we are transported back in time to witness the beauty and grace of one of Spain's most iconic sovereigns. It is truly an honor to behold such an extraordinary depiction of Queen Isabella I amidst the splendorous Crown Jewels of Castile.
