Isabel de Borbón , Wife of Philip IV
Artist: Rodrigo de Villandrando (Spanish, 1588-1622)
Date: ca. 1620
Medium: Oil on canvas
Collection: Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Spain
Description
The daughter of Henri IV of France and Marie de Médicis, Isabel de Borbón (1603-1644) was the first wife of Philip IV and the mother of Prince Baltasar Carlos and María Teresa of Austria. In Villandrando’s portrait, painted a year before Isabel became Queen of Spain, she wears a stiff, sumptuous dress that emphasises her presence and royal status. Although Spanish in cut, the colours of the dress are those of the Portuguese court -gold brocade over a white background- at that date under Spanish rule.
