EDITORS COMMENTS
The Infantes Offer to Accompany Ruy Velazquez in His Campaign Against the Moors," is a captivating etching by the renowned Italian artist, Antonio Tempesta, created in the early 17th century. This masterpiece is taken from The History of the Seven Sons of Lara, plate 19, and showcases a significant moment in the legend of the Seven Sons of Lara, a popular Spanish chivalric romance. The scene depicts the Infantes, or princes, of Lara, dressed in full armor and mounted on horses, offering their services to Ruy Velazquez, a renowned Spanish military leader, as he prepares for a campaign against the Moors. The Infantes are shown with determined expressions, their faces obscured by masks, emphasizing their anonymity and their commitment to the cause. Tempesta's use of chiaroscuro, or the contrast between light and dark, adds depth and drama to the image, while the intricate details of the armor and the horses' manes and tails convey a sense of realism and authenticity. The lettering at the bottom of the etching, in elegant script, provides context and title to the scene. This etching is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe during the Baroque era, and offers a glimpse into the world of chivalry, honor, and valor. It is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or literature, and is a valuable addition to any collection or exhibition. The Infantes Offer to Accompany Ruy Velazquez in His Campaign Against the Moors is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and is a reminder of the enduring legacy of Antonio Tempesta and the art of the 17th century.
