Again: If you feel like you already saw some of these photos sometime somewhere on "the far sight", you are right. I just collect them again here for easier access.
I only have this one photo showing Quiroga Palacios in the archiepiscopal cappa magna:
The rest is all watered silk (sepia, b/w and one color):

wow, what an awesome blog!
the cardinal really looks like he was born to wear the cappa! he looks like what a prince of the church should look like.
quick observation with the 4th and 5th photos though, i thought only cardinals had the right to wear the mantelletta with the mozzetta? the only bishops i know that have that right were bishop assistants to the pontifical throne.
Thanks for the kind words, Ron!
You're right: Quirogas Palacios seems to be a "natural born purpurado".
As far as the mantelletta goes: It was quite common in Spain for all bishops, both diocesan and titular, to vest with mantelletta and mozzetta. The Spanish bisophs did quite a lot of things differently. See this post and its comments for more information.
