"The Cardinal Infante" is a notable oil painting created around 1634 by the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens. Depicting Don Fernando de Austria, known as the Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Austria, the painting is a masterful example of Rubens' skill in portraiture and his ability to convey the status and character of his subjects. The Cardinal-Infante, brother of King Philip IV of Spain, was a significant figure in the political and religious spheres of the time, serving both as a cardinal and as Governor of the Habsburg Netherlands.

In this portrait, Rubens captures the Cardinal-Infante dressed in the luxurious garments befitting his dual roles. The painting is characterized by Rubens' vigorous brushwork and rich, vibrant color palette, which were hallmarks of the Baroque style that he helped to define. The Cardinal-Infante is portrayed with a commanding presence, reflecting his powerful position within the Habsburg dynasty.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its historical context, as it was painted during a period of intense political and military activity involving the Cardinal-Infante, including his command of the Spanish forces at the Battle of Nördlingen in 1634. The painting thus serves as a historical document, providing insight into the image-making and representation of European nobility in the 17th century.

"The Cardinal Infante" by Rubens is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important work in the oeuvre of one of the most influential artists of the Baroque period. The painting is part of the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic excellence and its embodiment of the grandeur of the era.
