EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait, painted by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes in 1794, captures the likeness of Antonio Ricardos, a Spanish military general from the late 18th century. Ricardos, born in 1727, served in the Spanish military for over five decades and rose to the rank of general in the Royal Artillery. In this painting, Goya masterfully depicts Ricardos in his military uniform, complete with a medal on his chest and a cannon pointed ominously in the background, signifying his role in the artillery corps. The general stands tall and proud, with a stern expression on his face and his right hand pointing to the cannon, conveying a sense of authority and command. The painting is a testament to the contemporary European military culture of the time, with its emphasis on discipline, order, and the importance of the military in maintaining the power and security of the state. This portrait is a significant work in the oeuvre of Francisco de Goya, who is considered one of the greatest artists in Spanish history. It is currently housed in the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be admired for its historical and artistic value.
