EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases a postcard featuring the mummy of Charles V in the Escorial, Madrid. Created by an anonymous Spanish artist in the 19th century, this image offers a unique glimpse into history. Charles V, also known as King Charles I of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor, lived from 1500 to 1558. The postcard captures the solemnity and mystery surrounding death as it portrays the deceased monarch's body lying within a sarcophagus. The skeleton of this once powerful Spanish king is preserved for eternity, entombed within the monastery of El Escorial in Spain. The intricate engraving highlights every detail with precision and skill. It transports us back to the 16th century when Carolus Imp et Rex ruled over vast territories across Europe. San Lorenzo de El Escorial, often referred to simply as El Escorial, serves as both a royal site and a symbol of Spanish history. This UNESCO World Heritage Site holds great significance for its architectural beauty and historical importance. As we gaze upon this litho print by Ken Welsh from Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of our mortality while marveling at the artistic representation that immortalizes one man's legacy.
