EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning portrait captures the distinguished likeness of Vicente Lopez y Porta's final masterpiece, a portrait of Captain General Ramon Maria Narvaez, the first Duke of Valencia. Painted in 1849, this work of art is a replica commissioned by Queen Elizabeth II of Spain following the signing of an amnesty decree by Narvaez. The original portrait now hangs in the Palacio Real in Madrid. Vicente Lopez y Porta, born in 1772, was a renowned Spanish painter of the Neoclassical period. His mastery of the oil on canvas technique is evident in this portrait, which showcases the captain general in an upright, vertical position, dressed in the formal attire of a duke. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details bring the subject to life, making this an exceptional work of art. Captain General Narvaez, a significant figure in Spanish history, served as the military governor of Valencia during a time of political turmoil. The amnesty decree he signed granted pardons to those involved in the Carlist Wars, a series of conflicts that threatened the stability of the Spanish monarchy. The queen's decision to commission a portrait of Narvaez following this act of mercy underscores the importance of his role in Spanish history. This portrait, now housed in the San Pio V Fine Arts Museum in Valencia, Spain, is a testament to the artistic talent of Vicente Lopez y Porta and the historical significance of Captain General Ramon Maria Narvaez. The painting's intricate details, rich colors, and masterful execution make it a must-see for art and history enthusiasts alike.
