Title: Portrait of Philip II of Spain Artist: Antonis Mor, also called Antonio Moro (ca. 1517/19-1575) Date: 1549/50 Genre: portraiture Period: High Renaissance Medium: oil on panel Dimensions: 107.5 cm (42.3 in) high x 83.3 cm (32.7 in) wide Location: Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, Bilbao, Spain

This portrait depicts the future King Philip II of Spain as a young prince, finely dressed and wearing around his neck the insignia of the Order of the Golden Fleece, a Catholic order of chivalry founded in 1430 by Philip the Good of Burgundy.

Antonis Mor, whose name has enough alternative versions and spellings to populate a baseball team, was born in Utrecht but worked throughout Europe, enjoying special favor with the Habsburgs. His portrait style, influenced by Titian, in turn influenced Diego Velázquez and other masters of the Spanish Golden Age.

Antonio Moro (Netherlandish, 1520-1586) Margarita de Parma, 1565 Museo del Prado Margaret of Parma was Governor of the Netherlands from 1559 to 1567 and from 1578 to 1582. She was a Duchess of Florence and a Duchess of Parma and Piacenza by her two marriages. Margaret was brought up in Mechelen, under the supervision of two powerful Spanish and Austrian Habsburg Imperial family relatives, her great-aunt, the Archduchess Margaret of Austria, and her aunt Mary of Austria, who were successive governors of the Netherlands from 1507 to 1530 and from 1530 to 1555, respectively. In 1555, the Farnese family were acknowledged as rulers of Parma by Spain in exchange for the custody of her son. That year, she left Italy for the Netherlands, where she left her son in the care of her half-brother Philip II. Philip appointed her Governor of the Netherlands when he left in 1559 for Spain. As governor, Margaret faced the rising storm of discontent against the Inquisition and Spanish despotism.
