ANTONIO CARNICERO (Salamanca, 1748 - Madrid, 1814). "Female portrait" and "Male portrait". Charcoal pencil and charcoal on paper. The female portrait has red numbering corresponding to the Artistic Recovery Service. Measurements: 42,5 x 33 cm; 59 x 51,5 cm (frame). Antonio Carnicero achieved great fame as a portrait painter, even immortalizing monarchs such as Fernando VII. On this occasion he offers us a male portrait and a female portrait that share common features: their serene gazes, fixed on the viewer, with no other symbols of their rank than the dignity of their faces and the richness of their clothes, which follow the prevailing Spanish fashion in Europe at the time. Painter and engraver, son of the baroque sculptor Alejandro Carnicero, he was also an excellent miniaturist. He entered the San Fernando Academy in Madrid at the age of ten, and accompanied his brother Isidro to Rome. He remained in the Italian capital for six years, perfecting his art and participating in various artistic competitions, being awarded prizes in several of them. On his return to Spain he completed his training at the Madrid Academy. During these years he began his collaboration with José del Castillo, with whom he worked from 1775 onwards on cartoons for tapestries for the Royal Factory, destined to decorate the rooms of the Princess of Asturias in the palace of El Pardo. As a draftsman he illustrated the editions of "Don Quixote" published by the Royal Spanish Academy in 1780 and 1782. In 1790 he made preparatory drawings for engravings, among them his outstanding series entitled "Tauromaquia". In 1796 and after previous failed attempts, he was appointed Pintor de Cámara de Carlos IV. Between that date and 1799, he made the illustrations for the book "El Real Picadero", commissioned by Manuel Godoy, which he was unable to finish. He also collaborated with the "Colección de trajes", a series on the popular types in Spain, making between 1778 and 1784 seven illustrations with typical characters of the Balearic Islands. His scenes of dances and walks, or the flights of Montgolfier balloons, are ascribed to the Rococo style. However, in his portraits a greater classicism can be appreciated, as can be seen in his "Portrait of Carlos IV with armor" and in the "Portrait of Manuel Godoy". Among the variety of styles and genres treated by the artist is a work of exceptional character, "The Allegory of Vigilance", with a moral theme, painted with dramatic hallmarks of light and shadow that anticipate the romantic aesthetics of the sublime. In the 1780s Carnicero worked on a series of oil paintings with views of roads and ports, originally commissioned by Carlos III to Mariano Ramón Sánchez, which reflects the sophisticated cultural and enlightened interest of the time in the historical, archaeological and geographical heritage of the country. During these years the painter was sent to Aranjuez as drawing teacher of Prince Ferdinand. In connection with this he served a month in prison in 1806, after the incidents of the so-called "Prince's trial". However, after his imprisonment he agreed to remain in his position as Painter to the King. The usurpation of Joseph I Bonaparte meant his fall from grace, but after the restoration of the government of Ferdinand VII he was restored to his post. Butcher is represented in the Prado Museum, the Municipal Museum of Madrid, the Academy of San Fernando, the Lázaro Galdiano of Madrid and the Museum of Fine Arts of Bilbao, among others.

The central double page, depicting the Battle of Mühlberg, is the work of Domenico Zenoni, then one of the most active engravers in Venice, particularly known for his depiction of contemporary events, from Enea Vico.Through the exploits of the princes, most of whom were still alive at the time of the work's composition, Ruscelli's book draws a true political map of mid-sixteenth-century Europe.There are the two most powerful royal families of the time, the Habsburgs and the Valois, and the company of the Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. Ruscelli, the first author to emphasize this connection, gives an important place to women's exploits, revealing the influence that prominent women, such as Catherine de' Medici, acquired in the second half of the sixteenth century.In the dedication to King Philip II of Spain, the Author explains his intention to 'consecrate' the important lives of the princes he was about to publish here.
