Antonis Mor (1517-1577) was a Flemish portrait painter of great gifts and fortunate contacts who spent most of his working life moving among European courts. There were two long stays in Spain, which accounts for the wealth of Mor's portraits in the Prado today.
"Mor sensitively captured the spirit of a tense and conflicted time, and the chilly composure and suspicious haughtiness of the international aristocracy that took the Spain of Philip II as its model. ... His verisimilitude merges with an exaltation of rank to express the solitude of the powerful, touched at times with a sense of anguish."
