Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Austria on horseback

 Salvete Omnes,

Peter Snayers pinxit








I already posted one Ferdinand Hapsburg , the joint- victor of Nordlingen 1634, hence it behooves me to post these portraits of cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Austria. They were painted by many masters of brush and oil paint.

Let us start with this one by Gaspar de Crayer



and other famous masters of the ear - don Velazquez, maestro Rubes,
Diego Velazquez pinxit

Rubens or his atelier pinxit
Jan van den Hoecke pinxit

Cornelisu Schut pinxit



Alexander Voet I fecit

now, this portrait is accredited to Adam Franois/Frans van der Meulen (1632-1690 ) while whereas our Cardinal-Infante died in 1641.
So this is an imaginary portrait I suppose


 
this bridle is adjusted above the browband
large padding under the saddle?
