Infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia
around 1618 | Jacob Jordaens
Isabella (1566–1633; daughter of King Philip II of Spain and Isabella of Valois) married Archduke Albert VII in 1599. Their joint rule as the sovereign regents of the Spanish Netherlands began in 1601. Widowed in 1621, Isabella continued to govern alone until her death in 1633. After the Twelve Years’ Truce expired, she attempted to renegotiate terms of peace between Spain and England, asking Rubens to represent her in the diplomatic negotiations.
