Royalty

Discover the wax figure of Felipe IV, King of Spain during the so-called Golden Age, a period of artistic splendor and political crisis that marked the history of the country.

Born in 1605, Felipe IV ascended the throne in 1621 and reigned until his death in 1665. During his rule, Spain lost part of its international power, but experienced a cultural revival with figures such as Velázquez, Lope de Vega, and Calderón de la Barca. He maintained a close relationship with the arts, especially painting, and was a significant patron of the Spanish Baroque. His reign was marked by wars, economic crises, and inner tensions. Interesting fact: he posed dozens of times for Diego Velázquez, making him one of the most portrayed monarchs in history.
