Alfonso XII

Artist: Federico De Madrazo y Kuntz (Spanish, 1815-1894)

Date: 1886

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Museo del Prado, Madrid, Spain

Description

This is a posthumous portrait of the monarch. He appears standing, in full-length, and dressed in a simple captain-general's uniform, upon which he bears the grand laureate cross and sash of the military order of San Fernando (Saint Ferdinand), as well as the decorations of the Golden Fleece hanging from his collar and a cummerbund and a saber girdle around his waist. He poses inside a palatial hall, on a rich carpet, resting his hand on one of the splendid hard-stone tables kept in the Museo del Prado , on which we see the command baton and the feathered helmet of his uniform. In the shadows of the sumptuous architecture in the background, there is a niche with a statue of a medieval monarch – probably King Alfonso X the Wise, the immediate nominal predecessor of the monarch – and a medallion with the effigy of King Charles V.

Federico de Madrazo had already painted portraits of Alfonso XII on several occasions throughout the king's lifetime, according to the records in his inventory. However, this portrait was commissioned from the painter in 1886, the year following the king's death. It was intended for the Ministry of Public Works, which back then was home to the Contemporary Section of the Museo del Prado . It was immediately transferred to the Museum, probably with the purpose of being integrated within the Chronological Series of the Kings of Spain, a project initiated by José de Madrazo.

An Equestrian Portrait of the Young King Charles II of Spain

Charles II of Spain

Charles II of Spain (6 November 1661 – 1 November 1700), also known as El Hechizado, or the Bewitched, was King of Spain from 1665 to 1700. The last monarch from the House of Habsburg which had ruled Spain since 1516, he died without children, leading to a European conflict over his successor.

Charles became king at the age of four, but for reasons that are still debated, he experienced extended periods of ill health throughout his life. This made the question of his successor central to European diplomacy for much of his reign, historian John Langdon-Davies writing that "…from the day of his birth, they were waiting for his death".

The two main candidates were the Austrian Habsburg Archduke Charles, and 16-year-old Philip of Anjou, grandson of Maria Theresa of Spain and Louis XIV of France. Shortly before his death in November 1700, Charles named Philip his heir, but the acquisition of an undivided Spanish Empire by either France or Austria threatened the European balance of power. Failure to resolve these issues through diplomacy resulted in the 1701 to 1714 War of the Spanish Succession.
