1748 1814 Antonio Carnicero Godoy Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas portrait depicts the powerful and influential figure of Manuel Godoy, Duke of Alburquerque and Prime Minister of Spain from 1792 to 1808, as captured by the skilled hand of Antonio Carnicero (1748-1814). The painting, which dates from the late 18th century, is a testament to the artistic and political significance of both the sitter and the artist during this period in Spanish history. Born in Madrid, Antonio Carnicero was a prominent painter of the late Baroque and Neoclassical periods. He was known for his portraits of the Spanish nobility and clergy, as well as his religious works. This portrait of Godoy is a prime example of Carnicero's ability to capture the essence of his subject, conveying both the power and charisma of the Duke through his masterful use of color, light, and brushwork. Manuel Godoy, who rose to prominence under the reign of King Charles IV, was a complex and controversial figure. He was a favorite of the queen, Maria Luisa of Parma, and became the king's prime minister and effective ruler of Spain. Godoy's influence extended beyond Spain's borders, as he played a key role in European politics during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This portrait of Godoy, which is held by the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco, offers a glimpse into the political and artistic landscape of Spain during this period. It is a reminder of the important role that art played in documenting and preserving the history of the past, and of the enduring legacy of both Carnicero and Godoy in Spanish culture and history.
