EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking black and white portrait, Isabelle Claire Eugénie, Infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia of Spain, gazes directly at the viewer with a profound sense of introspection. Dressed in the habit of a nun, the young princess, who was also the Archduchess of Austria, exudes an air of piety and devotion, her hands folded in prayer, a rosary in her left hand. The engraving on laid paper, created by the renowned French artist Balthasar Moncornet (1572-1628), captures the essence of Isabelle's spirituality and her deep connection to her Christian faith. Isabella Clara Eugenia was born in 1566 in Brussels, then part of the Spanish Netherlands, to King Philip II of Spain and Archduchess Margaret of Parma. She was raised in the Spanish court and became a prominent figure in the Spanish royalty, known for her intelligence, beauty, and piety. This portrait, which showcases Isabelle's simple and elegant clothing, is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the time. The image, now held in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a reminder of the rich history and artistic traditions of the 17th century, and a tribute to the enduring legacy of Balthasar Moncornet as a masterful portraitist. The direct gaze of the young princess invites us to reflect on the complexities of her life and the role she played in European history.
