EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the image of Cristóvão Moura (1538-1613), a prominent Portuguese politician who served under Spanish rule during the early modern monarchy. The portrait, created in Zaragoza, Spain, at the Academia General Militar (General Military Academy), showcases Moura in the prime of his life. He is depicted wearing the grand attire of the era, including a ruff collar and lace cuffs, signifying his high social standing. Moura's service to Spain during this time was marked by his role in implementing absolute policy and overseeing the annexation of territories, making him a pivotal figure in the political landscape. The engraving serves as a testament to the complex web of power dynamics during this period, as Portugal, once an independent kingdom, found itself under Spanish rule. The intricate details of the engraving, from the textured fabric of Moura's clothing to the meticulously rendered collar and collar, highlight the artistic skill of the time. This image offers a glimpse into the political and artistic culture of the early modern monarchy, providing a valuable historical record of a significant figure in Portuguese and Spanish history.
