EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the portrait of Henry IV the Impotent (Enrique IV of Castilla) from "Genealogia de los reys de Espana" by Alonso de Cartagena, dating back to 1463. The miniature painting, housed in the National Library of Madrid, captures the essence of this controversial king who reigned over Castile and Leon from 1454 to 1474. Henry IV's reign was marked by political turmoil and scandalous rumors surrounding his impotence. This portrayal highlights his regal presence while also shedding light on his vulnerability as a ruler. The artist skillfully captures Henry's masculine features, emphasizing his royal lineage and authority. The equestrian motif adds an element of power and nobility to the composition. Mounted on a majestic horse, Henry exudes confidence and strength despite facing challenges during his reign. The inclusion of horses symbolizes not only their significance in medieval society but also represents wildlife and farm animals that were integral parts of daily life during that period. Alonso de Cartagena's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this illuminated manuscript miniature. Every stroke brings out the richness of colors used for clothing, background elements, and intricate patterns adorning Henry's attire. This portrait offers us a glimpse into Spanish history during the fifteenth century—a time characterized by both enlightenment and conflict within royal circles. It serves as a testament to the artistic prowess prevalent during this era while immortalizing one of Spain's most intriguing monarchs.
