EDITORS COMMENTS
Don Inigo Lopez de Mendoza y de la Vega, Marquis of Santillana (1398-1458), was a prominent Castilian politician and poet of the 15th century. This striking portrait of the Marquis, depicted in the Altarpiece of Buitrago, dates back to approximately 1455 and was painted by the renowned Spanish artist Jorge Ingles. Born into a noble family, Don Inigo held significant political power during the reign of John II of Castile. He is often remembered for his literary prowess, with many of his poems showcasing the rich cultural heritage of medieval Spain. In this portrait, the Marquis is depicted in deep contemplation, his eyes closed in prayer as he holds a large cross. The intricately detailed Gothic artistry of the painting captures the solemnity and reverence of the moment, as Don Inigo communicates with the divine. The Altarpiece of Buitrago is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the period. It provides a glimpse into the life of a powerful and influential figure from Europe's Middle Ages, whose contributions to both politics and literature continue to be celebrated. Don Inigo Lopez de Mendoza y de la Vega, Marquis of Santillana, remains an intriguing personage whose legacy transcends the boundaries of time and continues to captivate scholars and art enthusiasts alike.
