EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching by Antonio Tempesta, titled "Garci Fernandez and Gonzalo Gustos, Father of the Infantes, Persuade Ruy Velazquez to Make Peace, 1612," is a striking depiction of a pivotal moment in the legend of the Seven Sons of Lara from Spanish literature. The scene unfolds in the 17th century, during the Baroque era, and is part of Tempesta's series "The History of the Seven Sons of Lara." In the image, Garci Fernandez and Gonzalo Gustos, two of the legendary princes, are shown persuading Ruy Velazquez, the Spanish viceroy of New Spain, to make peace. The three men stand before a backdrop of a grand landscape, with the sun setting in the background, symbolizing the end of conflict and the dawn of a new beginning. Garci Fernandez and Gonzalo Gustos are depicted as determined figures, with their hands extended in a gesture of peace and their faces expressing a deep sense of conviction. Ruy Velazquez, on the other hand, appears hesitant, with one hand resting on the hilt of his sword and the other holding a letter. The contrast between the two groups highlights the significance of the moment and the potential impact of their actions. This etching is a testament to the enduring power of literature and the ability of art to capture and preserve historical moments. It invites viewers to delve deeper into the rich cultural heritage of both Europe and the Americas and to reflect on the themes of peace, unity, and the power of persuasion. The etching is currently on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United States, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The image, with its intricate details and bold lines, is a reminder of the beauty and complexity of the Baroque era and the enduring legacy of Antonio Tempesta's work.
