EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature painting, created in Spain around 1463, depicts Athanaric II (c. 335-381), the first recognized Visigothic King of Spain. The image is part of a larger genealogical work, "Genealogia de los Reyes de Espana," which charts the lineage of Spanish monarchs. Located in the lower right margin of the painting is the portrait of Bishop Gudilla, an important figure during Athanaric's reign. Gudilla is shown with a serious expression, dressed in ecclesiastical attire, and holding a book, symbolizing his role as the primary teacher of the Christian faith to the Visigothic people. Athanaric II is depicted as a regal and powerful figure, dressed in the traditional Gothic attire of the time, complete with a flowing cloak and a crown adorned with precious stones. The vertical, upright composition and vibrant colors of the painting reflect the artistic style of Gothic art, which was prevalent in Europe during the late Middle Ages. The painting's historical significance lies in its portrayal of Athanaric II as the first monarch in the genealogical line of Spanish kings. His reign marked the beginning of the Visigothic Kingdom in Spain, which lasted until the late eighth century. The painting serves as a testament to the rich cultural and artistic heritage of medieval Spain, as well as the enduring influence of Christianity on its people and history.
