More about this artwork

Francisco de Goya, a master of portraiture and a pivotal figure in Spanish art, presents in this captivating work, "Portrait of Félix Colón de Larriátegui," an insightful look into Spanish society at the end of the 18th century. This painting captures Félix Colón de Larriátegui, a distinguished public official who served with the Council of Castile. His position is hinted at not only through his confident pose and discerning gaze but also by the regal attire and the strategic placement of meaningful objects around him.In this portrait, Goya skillfully portrays Larriátegui seated against a dark, neutral background that accentuates the vivid details of his embroidered coat and the striking red sash adorned with badges, signaling his esteemed status. The sitter is depicted holding a book, suggesting his intellectual interests, and beside him, a table holds several books, possibly legal volumes relevant to his profession, reinforcing his educated and cultured demeanor.Goya's use of color, texture, and meticulous attention to the details of Larriátegui’s face and clothing illuminates his ability to convey not just the physical likeness but the personality and social standing of his sitters. This portrait exemplifies Goya's unique ability to infuse his art with psychological depth, making it a profound study of character and an exceptional piece of historical documentation.

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.
