EDITORS COMMENTS
Margaret of Austria, Queen of Spain (1584-1633), is depicted in this 1612 etching by Raffaello Schiaminossi as she grants an audience to a nobleman in the grandeur of her audience chamber. The image, reminiscent of the seventeenth century, transports us to the indoor interiors of the Spanish court. Margaret, dressed in rich fabrics and adorned with jewels, sits regally on her throne, her posture exuding confidence and authority. The nobleman, dressed in the finest attire, kneels before her, his hands folded in respect. Ladies in waiting attend to the queen, their presence adding to the grandeur of the scene. The etching, with its intricate details and masterful shading, captures the essence of the aristocratic court, a place of law and order, where the monarch's word was law. The location, perhaps the Alcazar of Madrid or the Escorial Palace, is not explicitly stated, but the opulence and grandeur of the setting are palpable. The image, a testament to the artistic heritage of Italy and Spain, is now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., a fitting home for this masterpiece of seventeenth-century art.
