More about this artwork

This compelling portrait, titled "Manuel Quijano," is a masterpiece by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya, painted in the year 1815. The subject, Manuel Quijano, is depicted with an intense and penetrating gaze, his expression thoughtful and perhaps slightly reserved. Quijano's eyes, dark and reflective, suggest a depth of character that is characteristic of Goya's portraits of the period.The oval composition highlights the sitter's face and upper torso, framed by a simple but richly-colored backdrop that draws the viewer's focus squarely to Quijano's features. His attire is restrained yet elegant, featuring a dark coat and a neatly tied cravat, which complement the overall somber palette of the painting.Goya's technique in this portrait demonstrates his mastery over the interplay of light and shadow, using subtle gradations to model Quijano’s features. The light catches on the subject's forehead, nose, and left cheek, enhancing the realism of the depiction and bringing a quiet vitality to the composition."Manuel Quijano" is an exemplary piece of Goya's portraiture, which often delves into the psychological realm of its subjects, offering a glimpse into their personal histories and emotional states.

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (30 March 1746 – 16 April 1828) was a Spanish romantic painter and printmaker. He is considered the most important Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His paintings, drawings, and engravings reflected contemporary historical upheavals and influenced important 19th- and 20th-century painters. Goya is often referred to as the last of the Old Masters and the first of the moderns.
