Sinopsis
Every process of creating a monarch’s public image inevitably entails an iconographic manipulation and transformation of the particular individual who wears the crown. In the Modern Age, arts and letters came together each time to serve the propaganda and the prestige of the dynasty to which the new king belonged, but the visual and symbolic construct was probably never so disproportionate as with the last of the Spanish Habsburgs, Charles II (1661-1700). The death of his father, the Planet King, when the prince was only four years old, his enormous physical and mental weaknesses, and the unstoppable decline of an empire in permanent crisis, induced the Queen Regent, together with the successive chief ministers and councillors, artists and tutors, to turn him into a king in hiding who scarcely ever left the Court, being replaced in every scene by his artistic image.
