The "Portrait of Queen Mariana of Spain in Mourning" (1666) is a significant work by the Spanish Baroque painter Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo. This painting is an evocative representation of Queen Mariana of Austria, the second wife of King Philip IV of Spain, during a period of mourning. The portrait is notable for its historical context and the emotional depth it conveys, capturing the somber mood of the Spanish court following the death of King Philip IV in 1665.

Martínez del Mazo, who was a son-in-law and disciple of the renowned painter Diego Velázquez, inherited the position of court painter after Velázquez's death. His works are often characterized by their meticulous attention to detail and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, which are evident in this portrait. The painting depicts Queen Mariana dressed in the traditional black attire of mourning, a custom that was strictly observed in the Spanish court. Her attire is richly detailed, with intricate lace and fabric textures that highlight Martínez del Mazo's skill in rendering textiles.

The queen's expression is one of solemnity and introspection, reflecting the gravity of her position as a widow and regent for her young son, King Charles II. The background of the painting is relatively austere, focusing the viewer's attention on the figure of the queen and enhancing the overall mood of solemnity and reflection.

This portrait not only serves as a personal and historical document but also exemplifies the Baroque style's emphasis on realism and emotional depth. It provides insight into the customs and aesthetics of the Spanish court in the 17th century, as well as the personal tribulations of Queen Mariana during a tumultuous period in Spanish history. The "Portrait of Queen Mariana of Spain in Mourning" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo and a poignant reminder of the human aspects of royal life.
