    programs of our sister organization in
  • 00:00:26
    Spain the fund
  • 00:00:28
    Amigos today today we're here H with a
  • 00:00:31
    very special treat for history fans
  • 00:00:34
    we're in room 56 in the museum with a
  • 00:00:38
    portrait of Mary Tudor Queen of
  • 00:00:43
    England painted by the
  • 00:00:47
    artist antonus Moore and in Spain known
  • 00:00:51
    as Antonio
  • 00:00:53
    MTO now Mary Tudor was the daughter of
  • 00:00:57
    Henry VII of England and his first wife
  • 00:01:02
    Katherine of Aragon and Catherine of
  • 00:01:04
    Aragon was the daughter of the Catholic
  • 00:01:07
    kings of Spain Isabel and
  • 00:01:11
    Ferdinand let's remember that Henry VI's
  • 00:01:14
    Reign was filled with turmoil and he
  • 00:01:17
    broke with the Catholic Church to
  • 00:01:21
    separate among other for other reasons
  • 00:01:23
    to separate from Mary's mother Catherine
  • 00:01:25
    to be able to marry and
  • 00:01:28
    Bolin so Mary had quite a difficult
  • 00:01:31
    situation and when she was younger she
  • 00:01:34
    was declared illegitimate by Parliament
  • 00:01:36
    and was in and out of favor as she was
  • 00:01:38
    growing up it's very significant that
  • 00:01:42
    she remained Catholic and when she was
  • 00:01:45
    declared Queen of England in
  • 00:01:48
    1553 her cousin Charles who was ruling
  • 00:01:52
    both Habsburg Spain and the Austrian
  • 00:01:56
    Holy Roman Empire he quickly moved moved
  • 00:02:01
    uh to propose her marriage to his son
  • 00:02:03
    Phillip who would become the future
  • 00:02:06
    Philip II of
  • 00:02:07
    Spain now what's amazing in the pra is
  • 00:02:10
    that we have both marriage portraits
  • 00:02:13
    upstairs we have a beautiful portrait of
  • 00:02:17
    Prince Phillip in armor full length um
  • 00:02:21
    painted by tishan which was quickly sent
  • 00:02:24
    to Mary to see if she would approve this
  • 00:02:27
    marriage and following we have this
  • 00:02:30
    commission by Anton smore uh by the
  • 00:02:34
    habsburgs to celebrate this marriage of
  • 00:02:37
    Philip and Mary so this portrait takes
  • 00:02:41
    place at a time we can imagine of much
  • 00:02:44
    hope you know as modern viewers we are
  • 00:02:47
    affected that we know what happens
  • 00:02:49
    afterwards but at this moment
  • 00:02:53
    Mary uh there's there's just a
  • 00:02:56
    hopefulness it has to be that there
  • 00:02:58
    there a new wedding with with an
  • 00:03:00
    alliance between England and Habsburg
  • 00:03:02
    Spain and Mary seems to be quite in love
  • 00:03:06
    with philli as he was her younger cousin
  • 00:03:09
    and they had married just a few months
  • 00:03:11
    earlier and at this time of the portrait
  • 00:03:13
    she believed that she was pregnant with
  • 00:03:16
    an air to the throne and this would have
  • 00:03:18
    been extremely
  • 00:03:22
    important the portrait was a huge
  • 00:03:24
    success as it really captured the
  • 00:03:26
    personality of Mary and and it also
  • 00:03:30
    helped position more as to become one of
  • 00:03:32
    the principal painters for
  • 00:03:34
    Phillip many copies were made and the
  • 00:03:37
    original was sent back to Charles who
  • 00:03:40
    kept it in his collection and even took
  • 00:03:42
    it with him on his retirement to rural
  • 00:03:47
    uste so antonus M he had been introduced
  • 00:03:50
    to the Habsburg Circle a few years
  • 00:03:53
    earlier and he was much appreciated for
  • 00:03:55
    his portraits that included great
  • 00:03:57
    attention to detail but with a more
  • 00:04:01
    Monumental Corporal presence of the
  • 00:04:03
    figures which were influenced by the
  • 00:04:06
    changes happening in Italy Moore's
  • 00:04:08
    composition actually seems to be
  • 00:04:10
    influenced by the pous portraits of
  • 00:04:14
    Charles
  • 00:04:15
    wife which we have conveniently hanging
  • 00:04:17
    right next to Mary uh the portrait of
  • 00:04:21
    Isabelle of Portugal by tishan and now
  • 00:04:24
    Isabelle of Portugal she was by this
  • 00:04:27
    time idealized as
  • 00:04:30
    uh the perfect wife and queen of a
  • 00:04:33
    Habsburg she was beautiful she was
  • 00:04:36
    virtuous and she was even a very capable
  • 00:04:38
    governor and governed Spain a lot during
  • 00:04:41
    her husband um absences throughout the
  • 00:04:45
    rest of his duties in in Europe so and
  • 00:04:48
    we go back to we see that there there's
  • 00:04:51
    you know similar position between how
  • 00:04:53
    Mary is in the composition with Isabelle
  • 00:04:57
    so they're mirrored together and antonus
  • 00:05:00
    Mard would have seen some sort of image
  • 00:05:02
    or drawing of tian's portrait of
  • 00:05:06
    Isel what we have here is that Mary
  • 00:05:10
    appears as the Regal Queen of England
  • 00:05:14
    and with determination in her face
  • 00:05:17
    thanks to that fixed gaze looking out of
  • 00:05:19
    it determination to overcome difficult
  • 00:05:23
    situations and she has a very you know
  • 00:05:26
    kind of rigid pose that adds to that
  • 00:05:30
    determination and there are many visual
  • 00:05:32
    symbols indicating both her legitimacy
  • 00:05:35
    as Queen of England and the closeness to
  • 00:05:38
    the habsburg's family her husband's
  • 00:05:40
    family her mother's
  • 00:05:43
    family first we have her in a
  • 00:05:46
    composition with a more neutral
  • 00:05:48
    background to make her stand out and
  • 00:05:51
    she's H sitting in a this beautiful
  • 00:05:54
    velvet uh armchair that's also at an
  • 00:05:57
    angle to create the space and the
  • 00:05:59
    armchair would be representative of the
  • 00:06:02
    Throne of
  • 00:06:04
    England then she has more of a tutor
  • 00:06:09
    headdress uh and the RO the tutor Rose
  • 00:06:12
    in her
  • 00:06:14
    hand then she also has as she inherited
  • 00:06:17
    uh this beautiful jewelry from her
  • 00:06:20
    father Henry VII as a locket a pendant
  • 00:06:24
    from here from their
  • 00:06:26
    waist down to the sorry down to the uh
  • 00:06:30
    the the locket at the bottom which is
  • 00:06:32
    hanging in front of her skirt here now
  • 00:06:35
    this
  • 00:06:36
    locket is across and with the four
  • 00:06:41
    evangelists and on the locket is her
  • 00:06:44
    father Henry the's motto which is God
  • 00:06:47
    and my right but she's made it into a
  • 00:06:49
    locket and it also has Catholic relics
  • 00:06:52
    on the inside so she is legitimate heir
  • 00:06:55
    to Henry VII and at the same time
  • 00:06:57
    declaring her Catholicism
  • 00:07:00
    now in
  • 00:07:02
    in illusion to her closeness to the
  • 00:07:05
    habsburgs and we have all of the
  • 00:07:07
    interlacing embroidery of the of the
  • 00:07:10
    chair which is the union of love the
  • 00:07:14
    union of the two dynasties also with her
  • 00:07:16
    high neck collar this there's more
  • 00:07:19
    interlacing here which is the union
  • 00:07:21
    between the two their love H and
  • 00:07:23
    especially the union of the dynasties
  • 00:07:25
    and also she's decided to dress more in
  • 00:07:28
    the Spanish style with this high collar
  • 00:07:30
    this would have been a purple Overcoat
  • 00:07:33
    which unfortunately has had a chemical
  • 00:07:35
    reaction we know from the restorers in
  • 00:07:38
    in the pra that has lost some of the
  • 00:07:40
    color the Overcoat but then that
  • 00:07:42
    beautiful Jewel and this is a gift from
  • 00:07:45
    Phillip that was inherited from his
  • 00:07:48
    mother Isabelle of Portugal and so this
  • 00:07:50
    is a fantastic flat cut diamond with
  • 00:07:54
    this beautiful pearl that hangs and
  • 00:07:56
    these are treasured uh jewelry from the
  • 00:07:59
    habsburgs that were very close uh to
  • 00:08:02
    Mary she decided to wear them and
  • 00:08:05
    actually she when she became ill later
  • 00:08:07
    was very careful to send them back to
  • 00:08:10
    Phillip um and her
  • 00:08:13
    will so what we have
  • 00:08:17
    are and then we also have this other
  • 00:08:20
    jewelry here in her in her hand one of
  • 00:08:23
    these Rings is a gift from Charles
  • 00:08:25
    another is her coronation ring as Queen
  • 00:08:27
    of England and then the very simp simple
  • 00:08:30
    band is her wedding ring to
  • 00:08:34
    Phillip so Mary was not a great Beauty
  • 00:08:38
    but Moore portrayed her very real
  • 00:08:39
    realistically and gave her great
  • 00:08:41
    intensity and Regal majest Majesty
  • 00:08:45
    thanks to all of her attributes and the
  • 00:08:47
    fine details of her you know all of her
  • 00:08:50
    richly embroidered jewelry her clothing
  • 00:08:54
    her stance her dignity looking out at us
  • 00:08:58
    and although Mary died a few years later
  • 00:09:02
    and the Habsburg Alli Alliance was
  • 00:09:04
    thwarted she was very close uh to to the
  • 00:09:10
    habsburgs and this painting I think is
  • 00:09:11
    really significant that Charles kept it
  • 00:09:14
    with him until he passed away in
  • 00:09:17
    uste another idea is
  • 00:09:21
    lineage and that both Isabelle and Mary
  • 00:09:25
    are first cousins uh they are both
  • 00:09:28
    grandchilden Children of the Catholic
  • 00:09:30
    Kings and their policy of marital
  • 00:09:34
    alliances both with Portugal and with
  • 00:09:38
    England and with the habsburgs in
  • 00:09:40
    Burgundian in Austria and next to them
  • 00:09:43
    we have a portrait of their grandmother
  • 00:09:46

  • 00:09:52
