Known for his significant role in the Spanish Netherlands and his involvement in the suppression of the Dutch Revolt, the Duke of Alba was a key figure in European history.

Willem Key, an accomplished portraitist of the Northern Renaissance, was known for his ability to convey the character and status of his subjects through meticulous detail and subtle use of color. In this portrait, Key employs a realistic style, focusing on the Duke's stern expression and dignified posture, which reflect his authoritative and formidable personality.

The painting is characterized by its attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the Duke's elaborate armor and the rich textures of his clothing. Key's use of light and shadow adds depth to the portrait, highlighting the Duke's facial features and emphasizing his commanding presence.

This work is an example of the high-quality portraiture that was prevalent in the 16th century, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing both the physical likeness and the essence of his subject.
