Surrounded by the apostles, Mary lies on her deathbed. Dressed as a priest, Saint Peter gives her a lit candle, while Saint John and another apostle read the Holy Scriptures beside her. The scene of the Assumption is visible through the open window. Maintaining certain elements of the work of his teacher, Juan de Borgoña, such as the human types and the palette; in this work Correa reveals
The baton in the sitter’s right hand and the cannon indicate that he is an artillery general, while the insignia hanging from his neck denotes his membership of the Order of Calatrava. Stylistically this canvas is clearly indebted to the work of Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641).
Painted by an anonymous artist, this canvas depicts the upper body of a knight against a neutral background. He insistently stares at the viewer. It may have been at the sitter’s request that the light shines brightly on everything that the painter wished to emphasise: his face, his hands and the accessories that adorn the black satin doublet he wears. The robe, tight-fitting around the torso and
This work is a copy of the portrait painted by Goya in 1799. It was made for the royal favourite Manuel Godoy, whose collection was confiscated following his fall from power in 1808. Charles wears the Golden Fleece and the sashes and badges of the orders of Charles III and Saint Januarius, the badges of the four Spanish orders of Santiago, Calatrava, Alcántara and Montesa, and that of the o
Christ and the Virgin Mary appear to Saint Francis at the church of la Porziuncola and the saint asks them for plenary indulgence for all pilgrims to that site. We know the artist´s name because it is revealed by the signature halfway up the canvas on the right, as well as through Antonio Palomino´s Museo Pictórico (1724). Palomino´s biography of Francisco Caro (ca.1627-1667) in that book p
Goya breaks with Baroque tradition, interpreting this typified subject according to the new principles of Neoclassicism. The clothing no longer flies around the figure, but instead adapts to the body in a natural manner. This delightful and emotive work is a preparatory sketch for the canvas belonging to the main altarpiece of the church of the College of the Order of Calatrava in Salamanca. It wa
An equestrian portrait of the Spanish monarch wearing the uniform of a colonel of the Guardia de Corps, with other insignias, such as the Sash of the Order of Carlos III, that of Saint Genaro and the Golden Fleece. This painting was made as a pair to the equestrian portrait of his wife, Queen Maria Luisa de Parma (1751-1818), which is also at the Prado Museum (P720). The composition reveals Velasq
Don José de Urrutria y de las Casas (1739-1809), was the only soldier of his day to reach the rank of Field Marshal without being a titled nobleman. He is shown wearing the Cross of Saint George which he received from Catharine of Russia for his actions at the siege of Ochakiv, (Ukraine) in 1789. In 1798 he was removed from all public office due to differences with Manuel Godoy. This portra
This portrait of the family of King Carlos IV (1748-1819) was painted in Aranjuez and Madrid in the spring and summer of 1800, shortly after Goya was named First Chamber Painter. It clearly show´s the artist´s mastery at individualizing characters. The forerunners to this complex composition are Louis-Michel van Loo´s Portrait of Felipe V and his Family (P02283) and Velázquez´s Las Meninas
