Image description

Mulay Ahmed, sometime ally of Emperor Charles V. This painting is a free copy after a lost portrait by Jan Cornelisz Vermeyen (1500– 1559) that was probably in Rubens’s own collection. Therefore, Mulay Ahmad had died many years before Rubens painted him. Though in fact a brutal leader, the Berber King of Tunis was for Rubens an idealized, exotic champion of Christianity whose image later served as a model for the Black King in several of Rubens’s images of the Adoration of the Magi
