The death of Queen Isabella the Catholic. Painted by Eduardo Rosales
Stretched out on her deathbed, Isabella the Catholic comforted her ladies and retainers who were weeping over her approaching death, saying:
— “Do not weep for me nor waste any time on useless prayers for my recovery. Pray rather for the salvation of my soul.”
