EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving on laid paper, created by the renowned Flemish artist Paulus Pontius in the 17th century, depicts Isabella Clara Eugenia of Spain, the Infanta and Archduchess of Austria. Born in 1566, Isabella was the daughter of King Philip II of Spain and his wife, Anna of Austria. Raised as a devout Catholic, she took the veil as a nun in the Monastery of San Jerónimo de Granada in 1580. The Infanta's serene and contemplative expression in this engraving reflects her pious nature and dedication to her faith. She is depicted in her nun's habit, with a rosary in her hand and a book in her lap, symbolizing her devotion to prayer and study. The intricate details of her habit and the delicate folds of her veil are rendered with remarkable precision, showcasing the exceptional skill of Paulus Pontius as an engraver. Isabella Clara Eugenia's life was marked by significant historical events, including the Spanish War of Succession and the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Dutch Republic. Despite these challenges, she remained committed to her religious vocation and is remembered as a patron of the arts and a champion of the Counter-Reformation in Spain. This engraving is an invaluable addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Spanish and Flemish traditions. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Paulus Pontius as a master of the engraving art and a chronicler of the lives of the powerful women of his time.
