Elizabeth, Queen of Spain in 1632, From a Painting By Rubens
A half length portrait of Elizabeth of France, Queen of Spain.
The map is engraved by Paulus Pontius, based upon an original portrait by Peter Paul Rubens.
Elizabeth of France (November 22, 1602 - October 6, 1644) was the eldest daughter of King Henry IV of France and his second wife Marie de Medici. Upon her marriage to King Philip IV of Spain she became Queen consort of Spain and Portugal from 1621 until her death in 1644.
Sir Peter Paul Rubens (1577 – 1640) was a Flemish artist. He is considered the most influential artist of Flemish Baroque tradition. Rubens specialized in making altarpieces, portraits, landscapes, and history paintings of mythological and allegorical subjects.
Paulus Pontius (1603 – 1658) was a Flemish engraver and painter. He was one of the leading engravers connected with the workshop of Peter Paul Rubens and worked after Rubens' death for other leading Antwerp painters such as Anthony van Dyck, Jacob Jordaens and others.
