Collection highlights
In 1598, Isabella Clara Eugenia, the daughter of the Spanish King Philip II, married Archduke Albert, the future Governor of the Spanish Netherlands. The Flemish portraitist Pourbus the Younger painted full-length marriage portraits of the ruling couple (Isabella Eugenia with Her Dwarf, 1599, Royal Collection, London), which were later repeated in the bust format on several occasions. Isabella wears a luxurious fur-lined brocade wedding dress with embroidery of personal significance: lilies refer to Isabella’s maternal descent from the Valois dynasty, and intertwined rings indicate marriage.
