An extravagant hybrid of an equestrian portrait and landscape, Vicente Carducho’s Costanza delivers color, detail, and appealing pictorial structure; the joyous canvas celebrates a Catholic victory. Carducho gave Don Gomez, Duke of Feria and last able general of the Spanish realm, eternal life in this and similar works that graced the palace halls of the King of Spain.
