Claudio Coello’s painting of Mariana of Austria (c.1683–93) depicts the Queen of Spain during her regency for King Charles II. A key figure in the Counter-Reformation, Mariana is portrayed with an emphasis on her political influence and religious devotion. This oil on canvas reflects the complex dynamics of 17th-century Spanish monarchy and its alignment with Catholic values.
