EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Death of Charles II, King of Spain" captures a poignant moment in history. The image, taken by Pieter van den Berge and anonymously dated between 1700 and 1702, depicts the final moments of the Spanish monarch's life. The photograph showcases the somber scene at Charles II's deathbed. Surrounding him are members of his court, their faces filled with grief as they witness their beloved king's passing. A priest stands nearby, holding a crucifix to offer solace during this solemn occasion. The composition skillfully highlights the vulnerability and fragility of life through its portrayal of Charles II lying on his bed, visibly weakened by illness. His pale complexion reflects the gravity of his condition while also symbolizing the end of an era for Spain. Despite being unable to see into Charles II's mind at that moment, this photograph allows us to imagine what thoughts might have been running through his head: reflections on his reign and legacy or perhaps even contemplation about what lies beyond death itself. Through this powerful visual narrative captured by Pieter van den Berge and preserved in Quint Lox's collection, we are transported back in time to witness one of history's most significant moments – a royal farewell that marked both an end and a new beginning for Spain.
