In the early 1570s, Philip II ordered Titian two large paintings-allegories: “Religion, which helps Spain” and “Philip II’s offering.” Both works were sent to Madrid in September 1575.
The victory over Turkey on October 7, 1571 and the birth of the heir, in December of the same year, filled the happiness of Philip II and, in honor of this, he ordered paintings. The Spanish monarch is giving the angel of Prince Don Fernando Below – the associated Turks, a symbol of their defeat.
