Philip II of Spain, 1527-98<br><p>A three-quarter length portrait of Phillip II. He wears black, gold embossed half armour, possibly the Rosenblatt armour made for Ferdinand I, and a white gold embroidered and slashed short trunk hose. He carries a baton and the plumed close helmet of the suit is on the right. 
</p><p>The original, of which this is a copy, was painted in about 1560. It was during Phillip II’s reign that England first came into conflict with the Spanish Empire, culminating in the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588. There is another version in bust length in Madrid, in the Lazaro Galdiano Museum.<br></p>
