EDITORS COMMENTS
This haunting image captures King Charles II (Carlos II), the last Habsburg ruler of Spain, during a time of great physical and emotional distress. Known for his extensive disabilities, he is surrounded by various doctors administering medicines in a desperate attempt to alleviate his suffering.
The portrait reveals the vulnerability of a monarch who was plagued by illness and genetic deformities due to generations of inbreeding within the Habsburg family. Despite his royal status, Charles II appears frail and helpless, relying on the expertise of medical professionals to ease his pain.
The somber atmosphere is heightened by the presence of religious figures in the background, symbolizing a sense of divine intervention sought by those around him. The devilish figure lurking in the shadows adds an eerie element to this already grim scene, hinting at darker forces at play during this tumultuous period in Spanish history.
Through this print, we are given a glimpse into the tragic life of King Charles II and the challenges he faced as he struggled to rule over a crumbling empire. It serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of power and the inevitable consequences that come with unchecked dynastic ambition.
