EDITORS COMMENTS
**A Regal Portrait: Ferdinand VII of Spain**
In this striking portrait by Spanish master Francisco Goya (1746-1828), King Ferdinand VII of Spain sits majestically, his direct gaze piercing the viewer. Painted in 1814 during a tumultuous period in Spanish history, the work showcases Goya's remarkable skill and insight into human nature.
Ferdinand VII, then just 24 years old, wears formal attire adorned with ermine trim - a symbol of royalty and nobility. His chain of office hangs prominently around his neck, while his cloak flows elegantly behind him. The monarch's facial hair is neatly trimmed, adding to the overall sense of dignity.
Goya's use of color is masterful, as he captures the king's regal bearing without sacrificing subtlety or nuance. The artist's bold brushstrokes and attention to detail create a richly textured image that invites contemplation. This portrait not only reflects Ferdinand VII's position within Spain but also serves as a testament to Goya's own artistic prowess.
The Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, where the original hangs today, is home to many of Goya's most celebrated works. **Portrait of Ferdinand VII** stands out among them for its striking composition and captivating subject matter - a true masterpiece from one of Spain's greatest artists.
