Abstract

This article studies one of the most peculiar and stranger iconographic models of portrait of Charles II of Spain. We have tried to study it in relation to the time and the historical situation it was painted into. We think the historical and historical background determined decisive way the creation of this new iconographic model and the inclusion in it of some previously absent elements wich were deeaply meaningful propagandistically and politically .
