Notes
English: This painting is a free copy after a lost portrait by Jan Cornelisz. Vermeyen (1500– 1559) that was probably in Rubens's own collection. Therefore, Mulay Ahmad had died many years before Rubens painted him. Though in fact a brutal leader, the Berber King of Tunis was for Rubens an idealized, exotic champion of Christianity whose image later served as a model for the Black King in several of Rubens's images of the Adoration of the Magi.
This painting can be identified with one of the two "portraits of a King of Tunisia after Antonius Moro," that are listed (nos. 148, 149) in the 1640 posthumous inventory of Rubens's possessions. Rubens's portraits of Mulay Ahmad (the MFA painting) and Mulay Hasan (now lost) were in fact made after originals by Jan Cornelisz.
