EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print, titled "Portrait De La Reine Marie-Anne" by Diego Velasquez, transports us back to the 17th century and offers a glimpse into the life of Queen Mariana of Austria. As the second wife and niece of King Philip IV of Spain, she held a significant position in Spanish monarchy. In this oil on canvas masterpiece, Queen Mariana exudes regal elegance with her elaborate headdress and royal attire. The artist skillfully captures her poise and grace, emphasizing her status as a powerful sovereign. Against a striking black background, every detail is brought to life - from the intricate collar adorning her neck to the subtle nuances in her expression. Beyond being an influential queen consort, Queen Mariana's legacy extends far beyond Spain. She is renowned for funding the Jesuit voyage led by Father Diego Luis de San Vitores and Saint Pedro Calungsod to Guam in order to spread Catholicism among the indigenous Chamoru people residing in what would later be known as the Mariana Islands. This particular print was featured in The Connoisseur magazine in 1910 and has been preserved meticulously over time. Its inclusion showcases its significance not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a historical document capturing an important figure during an era marked by colonialism and imperialism. As we admire this portrait print today, we are reminded of Queen Mariana's influence both within Spain's borders and across distant lands – forever immortalized through Velasquez's masterful brushstrokes.
