1. Title: Enrique Fernández de la Cueva, Duke of Alburquerque (1619-1676) - Spanish Military Officer and Viceroy of New Spain (1653-1660) This engraving depicts Enrique Fernández de la Cueva y Enríquez, the Duke of Alburquerque, a prominent Spanish military officer and viceroy of New Spain from 1653 to 1660. Born in 1619, Alburquerque hailed from Aragon, Spain, and was educated at the Academia General Militar (General Military Academy) in Zaragoza. The Duke of Alburquerque's military career began with his participation in the Battle of Rocroi in 1643, where he displayed remarkable courage and leadership. He later became the governor of Catalonia and Valencia before being appointed as the viceroy of New Spain, a significant position that placed him in charge of Spanish territories in present-day Mexico and Central America. During his tenure as viceroy, Alburquerque focused on strengthening the Spanish presence in the region and implementing various reforms to improve the lives of the indigenous population. However, his rule was not without controversy, as he faced opposition from the powerful Conquistadors who sought to maintain their privileges. This vertical, upright, black and white portrait captures the stern and determined expression of the Duke of Alburquerque, reflecting his strong character and military background. The engraving is a testament to the rich history of Spanish colonial rule in the Americas and the influential figures who shaped it. The Duke of Alburquerque's legacy extends beyond his military and political accomplishments, as he is also remembered for his patronage of the arts and sciences. This engraving serves as a reminder of his significant contributions to Spanish history and the enduring impact of the Spanish colonial era.
