The Death of Carlos, Prince of Asturias - A Glimpse into Spanish Royalty's Tragic Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the year 1568, capturing a pivotal moment in history - the death of Carlos, Prince of Asturias. Also known as Don Carlos, he was the eldest son and heir-apparent of King Philip II of Spain. In this somber image, we find ourselves standing at his bedside as a medium group of people gather around him. The atmosphere is heavy with grief and sorrow. The mature men present include King Philip II himself, who stands tall beside his beloved son. Carlos lies motionless on his bed, depicted in full length. His face bears an expression that hints at the pain he endured during his short life. As we delve into this historical scene from the 16th century, it becomes evident that Carlos' untimely demise carries great significance for Spanish royalty. The illustration comes from "Historia de los Crimenes del Despotismo" published in 1870 by Ken Welsh. It serves as a poignant reminder not only of Carlos' tragic fate but also sheds light on the complex dynamics within royal families during that era. Through this archival piece, we are transported to a time when power struggles and political intrigue shaped destinies. It invites us to reflect upon how even those born into privilege could be subject to immense suffering and tragedy.
