"Portrait of Philip II (1527-1598), King of Spain" is an illustration by Francisco Pacheco, a Spanish painter, teacher, and writer, included in his work "Portraits of Famous Men" published in 1599. This portrait depicts Philip II of Spain, who reigned from 1556 to 1598, and was one of the most powerful rulers of his time, overseeing a vast global empire that included territories in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Pacheco, known for his influence on the Spanish Golden Age of art and as the master of Diego Velázquez, was not only a painter but also a keen art theorist.

The portrait is significant as it was created during the period when the Habsburg dynasty, to which Philip II belonged, was at the height of its power. Pacheco's work is an important historical document that provides insight into the representation of monarchical power and the artistic conventions of the late 16th century. The illustration is part of a larger collection that aimed to preserve the likenesses of notable figures of the era, reflecting the cultural and political milieu of the time.

In "Portraits of Famous Men," Pacheco sought to immortalize the visages of influential individuals, and his portrayal of Philip II would have been informed by the monarch's status as a ruler who expanded Spanish influence across the globe, but also as a patron of the arts. The portrait is a testament to the role of art in documenting and shaping the legacy of historical figures, and it remains a valuable resource for understanding the visual culture of the Spanish Renaissance and the representation of royal identity.
