Commentary | Don Juan de Austria's portrait; reference to captive's tale; Ruy Pérez took part in the battle of Lepanto at don Juan de Austria's command.
Drawing and engraving are excellent and highly detailed. |
Notes | 1 - Same illustration and wooden block first used for Paris: Dubochet, 1836-37.
2 - The print seems to have two signatures, but they are unreadable. 3 - This portrait is a partial and turned copy after Ribera's portrait of don Juan José de Austria (1648, Royal Palace, Madrid, Spain); Johannot mistakes don Juan José de Austria (1629 - 1679), son of King Felipe IV, for don Juan de Austria (1545 - 1578), brother of King Felipe II. |
