The great portraitist of Philip III
Sophistication, geometry and dynastic presence
Trained in the studio of Alonso Sanchez Coello, Pantoja de la Cruz inherits the tradition of court portraiture shaped by Antonio Moro. Appointed chamber painter in 1596, under Philip III he became the main interpreter of the royal family, while creating religious works, still lifes and miniatures. The "Juan Pantoja de la Cruz" selection notably compares Philip III and Infanta Catalina Micaela. His reading favors composition.
The apparent rigidity of the portrait is a language: each embroidery, jewel and posture affirms the rank of the model.
