Arms emblazoned by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a rounded trapezoidal external shape and with a watercolor finish.

Coat of arms of Barbaro Jonathan Lopez Linares, Cuba, designed by him and emblazoned by me. These are canting arms, as the main charge of the coat of arms is a wolf ~ lupus ~ Lope ~ Lopez. In heraldry, beasts are usually depicted in an aggressive attitude, for example, with gaping jaws, protruding tongue, and visible fangs; in this case, it was the armiger’s wish that his wolf should not display such an aggressive expression; in my interpretation, I deliberately avoided those features of ferocity and instead sought to give the wolf a dignified and imposing look, one that inspires respect rather than open aggressiveness.

Arms interpreted by me, highlighted with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with an ogee external shape and with a watercolor finishing.

This is the coat of arms of Abdulelah Alyahya (Riyadh, Saudi Arabia), designed by Vittorio Gifra (Italy) under his instructions, revised by Bob Juchter van Bergen Quast (Netherlands) and Kevin D. Couling (United Kingdom), and emblazoned by me (Spain). The arms reflect the heritage of the Alyahya family, descendants of the ancient tribe of Beno Tamim (Altamimi) and linked to the modern origins of Saudi Arabia. These arms exemplify how modern heraldry operates on a global scale, the process involved several countries: a design originating in Italy following the instructions of the armiger in Saudi Arabia, revised by experts in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and rendered by me in Spain, it serves as an example of international collaboration within the field. In an ordinary, I distinguish between engrailed and invected from the ordinary's point of view; for instance, I define a bordure as invected if, from the interior of the bordure, the edge appears invected (meaning the arcs appear concave); conversely, I say a bordure is engrailed if the arcs appear convex from its interior point of view; in this specific case, regarding a line of division, I describe it as engrailed because, from the perspective of the base of the coat of arms, the arcs of the partition line appear convex [Nisbet, A.; 1816; page 21, pictures 1 and 2].

Design rationale

She is an Associate Professor and Assistant Professor at the University of Houston-Clear Lake. She studied Marine Biology at the University of Puerto Rico, Humacao (1991–1995), and the marine motifs reflect both her academic training and career. The dolphin on the shield refers to her Puerto Rican heritage, her birthplace in Fajardo, and her personal value of honor. At her request, the shield ends in a semi-circular arch, in keeping with Hispanic heraldic tradition. The three escallops symbolize her family and her compassion. She currently resides in Houston, Texas, which is why the owl in her crest holds a bluebonnet (Lupinus texensis), the state flower of Texas since 1901. The owl represents her profession and her wisdom. A small gold heart on the chain pendant indicates her cadency as first daughter.

G0076, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant for the arms of Claes Zangenberg's arms, whose full achievement has been emblazoned by me for such grant. This full achievement includes a crown of Baron, it is essential to emphasize that the inclusion of these ornaments does not constitute legal recognition of titles of nobility by the Republic of Malta; rather, it reflects the Office's mandate to preserve and document the cultural and heraldic heritage of the petitioners. The current Chief Herald of Arms of Malta has clarified in various interviews and lectures that, as the Constitution of Malta has not recognized titles of nobility since 1975, the legal framework allowing the Republic of Malta to register a coat of arms featuring coronets is to treat it as historical and cultural evidence of a lineage. This approach is detailed in the book [Gauci, C. A.; 2023; 145], «The Way Forward»: «Thus, although the State recognizes the coat of arms of an individual as granted/registered by the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta, this does not mean that the Chief Herald or indeed the Republic of Malta are also automatically recognizing any title of nobility used by the individual in question. The Arms are simply the reflection, verbal and pictorial of any honours mentioned in the Letters Patent or Document of Registration». It is under this premise of cultural heritage that the Office of the Chief Herald is integrated into Heritage Malta, the Maltese national agency for museums and the conservation of cultural heritage, established by the Cultural Heritage Act enacted in 2002. In the case of heraldry, it is regarded as intangible cultural heritage.

R0047, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta's grant for the arms of Olivia Zangenberg's arms, United Kindom, whose full achievement has been emblazoned by me for such register. In the practice of the Office of the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta, whose grants and registrations are officially published in the Government Gazette, a double coronation is occasionally observed within the armorial achievements. In this case, the coronet resting directly upon the shield represents the personal rank of the armiger (in this case, a coronet of noble as the daughter of a baron), while the superior coronet identifies the dignity of the family to which she or he belongs. The Office's policy is detailed in the book [Gauci, C. A.; 2023; 145], «The Way Forward»: «In the British tradition, coronets of rank are normally borne immediately above the shield, but in other countries e.g., Spain, Portugal, France the coronet of rank may be borne above the helm, not unlike a crest coronet. In Malta some title-holders display their coronet above the shield while others display it above the helm. In some cases, this may be due to the fact that some holders of Maltese titles of foreign origins, opt to follow the heraldic rules of the country which granted the original title. In other case it appears to rest purely on the whims of the title-holder. The Office of the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta will normally choose to display coronets of rank immediately above the shield but will not stand in the way of family tradition should there be a preference for the coronet to be displayed elsewhere in the Arms. However, a titular coronet, unlike a crest coronet (see below), must never be placed above a wreath or be separated from the helm by a fold of mantling. This would reduce its status to that of a crest coronet».

It has been painted by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, and with a freehand finish.

The genealogical chart with the coats of arms of the House of Potts of Wentworth, all designed by Randy David Lee Xavier Potts and emblazoned by me. The House of Potts of Wentworth are Randy David Lee Xavier Potts, Kimberley Ann Potts, Britania Anastoshia Korÿn McCoy, Köryn Alexandria Konstånz Potts, Konstånz Chantal Leóné Potts, Tiana Rose Lee Potts, Makayla Danée Robidoux, Corey Scott Lasco, Sebastian Artemis Cole McCoy, Evander Graham Wylder McCoy, Bradlee Tatym LaRue Botkin, Rhettlee Cooper Jones, Easton Michael Jones, Hudson Hayes Lasco, and Ryker Scott Lasco. The composition of this entire family set of coats of arms follows an assumed American heraldic practice rather than a strictly British or Scottish legal model. Kimberly is a heraldic heiress, and her daughter Tiana quarters both parents' arms, Randy and Kimberly, accordingly. Randy's other son, Britania, and his two daughters, Korÿn and Konstänz, as well as his grandchildren, use Randy's arms, each with their own marks of difference. Kimberly's other daughter, Makayla, her son Corey, and their descendants are not presented as inheriting arms by right under British rules, but rather by family courtesy and internal consistency within the assumed system used by this family; that is, they bear Randy's arms quartered with Kimberly's arms, each again with their own marks of difference. In the United States of America, where arms are commonly assumed, as in Castilian heraldic tradition, rather than formally granted, such arrangements are a matter of family tradition, agreement, and personal decision, rather than enforceable heraldic law. The overall composition of the arms of this extended family is a clear and good example of this approach. It should be noted that the English expression «assumption of arms» does not translate well into Castilian as «asunción de armas», but rather as «adopción de armas», «adoption of arms» a much more accurate and meaningful term. The concept of adoption conveys incorporation into a family: we adopt fundamental bonds, such as a child; deeply personal relationships, such as a companion animal; and also highly symbolic and identity-defining elements, such as a coat of arms.

Gregorio Lanzagorta Llaguno, schema 1x3

Azure, a seagull volant Argent, carrying in its feet a sheaf of tobacco proper, bound Gules.

Azure, a seagull volant Argent, carrying in its feet a sheaf of tobacco proper, bound Gules.

The coat of arms of Gregorio Lanzagorta Llaguno, harbor of San Blas, and cigar maker in Nayarit, Mexico. This coat of arms was designed by Juan Lanzagorta Vallín and painted by me in 3 steps: 1) outlined, 2) plain colors and metals, and 3) lights and shadows. The heraldic terms «gavilla» ~ «garb» in Castilian and English. Note that the English term «sheaf» also corresponds to the Castilian «gavilla». At first, I thought I remembered that in Castilian this sheaf of tobacco had the very specific name «tonga», and that is why I initially used «tonga de tabaco» ~ «tobacco sheaf». But I discovered that «tonga» is a more local than general term, [Real Academia Española; 2014] «Canarias y Cuba: Pila o porción de cosas apiladas en orden», so «tonga» is not as general as I believed, and therefore I moved on to use «gavilla de hojas de tabaco» ~ «sheaf of tobacco leaves», although this is somewhat long, and moreover the words «hojas» and «leaves» are redundant, since these sheaves are only made of leaves—just as wheat sheaves are always made of ears, so one does not say a sheaf of wheat ears. That is why I finally use for the blazon «gavilla de tabaco» ~ «sheaf of tobacco» in Castilian and English, respectively.

Or, a fess chequey Argent, charged with an ermine spot, and Azure, between in chief two cross patty Gules, in base a thistle proper; a diminished bordure Azure.

The coat of arms of Reverend John Stuart, XVIII century, emblazoned by me in 3 approaches: 1) Classic bordure: Using a bordure with a width equal to 1/6 of the coat of arms' base. In the image, this is marked with texts and lines in Vert. Notice that the squares in columns 2 and 8 are split by the inner border of the bordure, which is unfortunate as it disrupts the design. 2) Diminished bordure: Using a narrower bordure with a width equal to 2/3 of the classic bordure, corresponding to 1 square of the fess chequey. In the image, this is marked with texts and lines in Gules. This approach avoids splitting any squares, allows for larger figures, and is my preferred solution. In England, diminished bordures, often simply blazoned as bordure, are more common than in Castile. 3) Without squares splitted: Retaining the classic bordure but shifting the fess chequey 1/2 square to either dexter or sinister to prevent splitting squares. However, this sacrifices the symmetry of the design. This last adjustment was used in the hatchment of Reverend John Stuart in St. George's Cathedral, Kingston, Ontario, 1785.

Arms emblazoned by me, illuminated with lights and shadows, contoured in Sable, with a semi-circular outer contour and with a freehand finishing.

This is the coat of arms of Her Royal Highness Doña Leonor Princess of Asturias, Princess of Girona, and Princess of Viana, heiress of the throne of Spain as the elder daughter of King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia. This version of her coat of arms has been emblazoned by me. The coat of arms of the Princess of Asturias is the same as her father's, the King, but with a mark of cadency which, in heraldic terms, is also know as brisure. In this case, the cadency mark is a label Azure with three points, which will be removed in due course. The label of three points is the main and most classic of the brisures, usually assigned to the eldest heir. It is said to originate from a piece of cloth the son would tie at the top of his shield to distinguish it from his father's. Other common brisures include the crescent, the mullet of five point, the marlet, the annulet, or the fleur de lis. In addition to these simple brisures, there are also combined brisures, which are brisures charged with another or others. For example, a crescent charged with a fleur de lis. Labels may also have their points charged with other marks. Many cadency systems become more complicated as generations progress and branches open up, so they tend to be rarely used except in very clear cases like this one.

Myriam Spiteri Debono, structured and parallel blazons

Personal coat of arms of Her Excellency Myriam Spiteri Debono, President of Malta, grant G0134 by Dr. Charles A. Gauci, Chief Herald of Arms of Malta. This coat of arms has been emblazoned by me. I have written the blazon in English and Castilian in a structured way to observe the parallelism between both forms. Someone asked me a interesting question about the first quarter: «Why is the lion overlapping the fess (i.e., colour on colour)?» This was my answer: I had no choice in the design, since each quarter represents one of her ancestral lineages, and the Chief Herald of Arms of Malta provided the precise blazon for each of them. My work was to paint the coat of arms according to those official instructions. In the case of the lion, it overlaps slightly because it is shown walking upon the fess. And importantly, the rule of tincture does not apply to tiny details. A well-known example is the lions of the arms of the Kingdom of England, whose claws are color Azure over a color Gules field. In this case, the lion’s claws and the underside of its paws are color Gules over an color Azure fess, perfectly acceptable for such small elements.

Tierced per pale: 1 Or, upon a fess Azure a lion passant Gules holding a sword point upwards Argent [for Spiteri]; 2 Azure, upon a base Vert a tree eradicated proper, supported at sinister by a man proper wearing a loincloth Argent and holding in his sinister a spear point upwards Or and in chief three mullets of six points in fess Or [for Debono], 3 Gules, two hands clasped throughout proper, vested Argent, holding a dagger point upwards Argent, hilted Or, in chief three mullets of six points in fess Or and in base a sprig of olive fesswise proper [for Zammit]. Terciado en palo: 1o de oro, una faja de azur cargada de un león pasante de gules teniendo una espada alzada de plata [de Spiteri]; 2o de azur, un árbol arrancado al natural, terrazado de sinople, soportado a la siniestra de un hombre al natural, vestido de un taparrabos de plata, teniendo en su siniestra una lanza alzada de oro, en jefe tres estrellas de seis puntas en faja de oro [de Debono]; 3o de gules, una alianza moviente de los flancos de carnación, vestida de plata, teniendo una daga alzada de plata, guarnecida de oro, en jefe tres estrellas de seis puntas en faja de oro, en punta una ramita de olivo puesta en faja al natural [de Zammit].

Unknown lady with a coat of arms on a column, 1597

Reconstruction based on direct observation of the painting.

This portrait, attributed by the seller to Frans Pourbus the Younger, was described on the market as that of a Venetian lady holding a «Venetian Lace Fan» and was said to come from a private collection in Florence, Italy. More precisely, its sales title was «Portrait of a Lady with a Venetian Lace Fan c.1595, Remarkable condition 1597».

From a heraldic point of view, the work presents, as a significant element, a coat of arms of oval shape painted on the column accompanying the figure. Oval forms are often associated with the shields of married women; if this late-sixteenth-century shield originated, for example, in England, one could be more confident that there is a relationship between the oval shape of the shield and the lady depicted. Originating in Italy, and more specifically in Venice, this oval shape may have been chosen either because the sitter was a woman or simply as a matter of fashion, since in that period and region oval shields can also be found in ecclesiastical contexts and used by men, the oval then being regarded as a form more architectural and artistic than combative.

I became aware of this painting because I was asked by a university whether I could identify the coat of arms on the column. The identification of coats of arms in historical painting is a slow, uncertain task and, in most cases, an unproductive one. It may require hours, days, weeks or even years, and often does not lead to definitive results. For this reason, I generally try to avoid this type of research.

In this particular case, I was unable to identify it. However, coats of arms, once seen, remain in visual memory; that is precisely what they are designed to do. Twenty months later, while casually reviewing a series of heraldic records published by the Italian heraldist, «Vittorio|Gifra», one of them caught my attention at an unconscious level. I continued moving through the series, but an unmistakable sense arose that something relevant had been overlooked, which led me to go back and examine the entry again with care. At that moment, the lady with the Venetian fan and the coat of arms painted on the column of the portrait immediately came to mind.

The consulted entry stated verbatim: «Stemma famiglia #VOGANZI. @voganzi Arma: d’azzurro, a due tibie in decusse al naturale, accantonate da quattro gigli d’oro. A.S.Mi. Reg. 0002: stemmario Marco Cremosano - 1673; [...] et anco di diverse Famiglie d’Italia, Vol. II°, p. n°333, posizione, 3^ fila e 3° stemma da sx a dx. [Cfr.: Archinto: «de #VOGANZA de Venetia» (I 13 V a)]. Vittorio Gifra. Lun01-12-2025».

Indeed, it had been found: the coat of arms on the column belongs to the Voganzi family of Venice, whose arms are, in Italian «d’azzurro, a due tibie in decusse al naturale, accantonate da quattro gigli d’oro» ~ in English «Azure, two tibiae proper in saltire, between four fleurs de lis Or» ~ in Castilian «escudo de azur, dos tibias al natural en sotuer, cantonadas de cuatro flores de lis de oro».

I then proceeded to document the finding and inform the interested parties.

In the Archinto, the form «Voganza» appears, referring to a specific individual or to the nominal origin of the lineage, in the singular; for example, «una dama de la casa Voganza». By contrast, in the stemmario by Marco Cremosano the form «Voganzi» is recorded, which corresponds to the plural commonly used to designate the collective body of members of the Voganza family. Taking into account that only about 70 years elapsed between the portrait (1597) and the stemmario (1673), it is plausible that at the time the painting was made the surname could already appear as «Voganzi» or in a very similar form. Although surnames do evolve over time, the interval considered is not one of centuries, but of 7 decades.

My most important doubt in this identification concerns the colour of the field; when I first saw it, I hesitated between sable and azure. It seemed too light to be sable, I thought; it could be azure, but it is not very azure, so in my notes I left it as: «either sable or azure».

When I depict elements in saltire, I usually give precedence to the bend over the bend sinister, so my natural inclination would be to place the tibia bendwise above the tibia in bend sinisterwise. In this case, however, I have placed the tibia bend sinisterwise above, in order to remain consistent with the coat of arms on the column. In any event, this is merely an artistic detail, with no relevance from the standpoint of heraldic description, which is the same in both cases.
