Portrait of Philip II facing right 1554

Giulio Bonasone's 1554 engraving, *Portrait of Philip II facing right*, depicts the King of Spain in a close-up bust portrait. The detailed rendering of Philip II's clothing and jewelry suggests a strong interest in realism during the Renaissance, and the inscription at the bottom identifies the subject as "Philip, Prince of Spain, and Son of Charles V." This print is a prime example of 16th-century portraiture and is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
