Anna of Austria, Queen of Spain
1570, Artist: Anthonis Mor van Dashorst
Anna of Austria, Queen of Spain
Archduchess Anna (1549–1580), eldest daughter of Emperor Maximilian II, was married to her uncle, King Philip II of Spain, as his fourth wife. As official painter at the Spanish court, Anthonis Mor had many times painted portraits of the members of the royal family. The style of courtly portrait created by him long remained the standard, up to the paintings by Velázquez and beyond. Posture and expression are used to show more clearly the social distance between the subject depicted and the beholder.
