EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases the esteemed figure of Fernando Alvarez de Toledo, the 3rd Duke of Alba. Painted in 1549 by Anthonis van Dashorst (Antonio Moro), this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 10.6x83.5 cm and is currently housed in the Musees Royaux des Beaux-Arts de Belgique in Brussels, Belgium. Fernando Alvarez de Toledo was a prominent Spanish nobleman who held numerous influential positions throughout his life. As depicted in this painting, he exudes an air of power and authority befitting his roles as Grand Duke of Alba, Viceroy of Naples, Governor of the Netherlands, Governor of Milan, and High Steward. Clad in armor with a shield at his side and a sword resting against him, De Toledo's commanding presence is further emphasized by the sceptre he holds—a symbol representing his position as adviser to the king. The middle-aged nobleman leans upon a stick with an expression that hints at both wisdom and determination. This portrait not only captures De Toledo's physical appearance but also serves as a testament to his significant contributions to Spain during the 16th century. His strategic military prowess and diplomatic skills earned him great respect among contemporaries. Through this remarkable artwork by Antonio Moro, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the strength and influence embodied by one of history's most notable figures.
