Modestly enlarged image can be found here, or at the only work, that mentions this artist, so far, to appear in Mr. Melcher’s blog.John of Austria (link shows his Wikipedia page) is shown, with different coloration maybe-click-to-enlarge and humongous images, by its current-location page (Google translated).The attribution at the earlier here link changed to Juan Pantoja de la Cruz a couple years after the blog entry; so don’t blame Mr. Melcher for having it wrong. In an odd coincidence, the only time Mr. Melcher has used that artist here, so far, the painting was attributed to yet another artist.This artist did paint at least 2 John of Austria portraits, this, found here (Google translated), and this, found here. His Wikipedia page and collection (more under Subcategories at each level).P.S. The actual color of Daniel’s garment in yesterday’s painting is shown by the last different coloration image, as also shown by its current-location page (that the current-location e-mailed me about today).
I teach American Colonial history, and when the boys snicker about knee breeches, I whip out this or a picture of James I, he of the KJV Bible. Generally shuts them up.

Ya know, just because someone puts on a fake mustache doesn’t necessarily mean he’s “dressed for Hallowen”.
