EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Bernardo de Iriarte, a prominent Spanish diplomat and political advisor. Painted by Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes in 1797, this oil on canvas print showcases the remarkable talent of the renowned artist. Iriarte is depicted seated with an air of alertness and liveliness. His half-length figure exudes confidence as he gazes directly at the viewer. Dressed in a distinguished waistcoat adorned with intricate embroidery, he wears a lace fichu around his neck, adding an elegant touch to his attire. In one hand, Iriarte holds a book, symbolizing his intellectual prowess and scholarly pursuits. The other hand rests gracefully on his lap, showcasing both poise and authority. A meticulously styled wig crowns his head, further emphasizing his status and sophistication during the 18th century. Notably displayed on Iriarte's chest is a medal or decoration that signifies his esteemed position as Vice Protector of the Royal Academy of Arts. This detail highlights not only his dedication to promoting artistic excellence but also serves as evidence of mutual esteem and affection between him and Goya. This exceptional piece can be found at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Strasbourg, France. It stands as a testament to Goya's mastery in capturing not just physical likeness but also conveying personality through portraiture.
