Archduke Ferdinand, Cardinal-Infante of Spain, at the Battle of Nordlingen, 1635. Archduke Ferdinand appears in this portrait at the Battle of Nördlingen, where he realized his greatest military victory in a battle that changed the course of the Thirty Years War. The dazzling and energetic painting style compliments the heroics of the young prince.
