EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite oil on canvas portrait depicts Elisabeth Farnese (1692-1766), the powerful and influential Queen Consort of Spain from 1714 to 1746. Painted by the renowned French artist Jean Ranc (1674-1735) between 1720 and 1735 during the Rococo period, this vertical, upright portrait captures the essence of Elisabeth's beauty, grace, and regal presence. The painting is currently housed in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Madrid, Spain, an autonomous community in the western world known for its rich artistic and historical heritage. Elisabeth Farnese, born in Parma, Italy, was the daughter of Odoardo Farnese, Duke of Parma, and Marguerite Bourbon. She married King Philip V of Spain in 1714, bringing the House of Bourbon to the Spanish throne. This portrait, painted in daylight and bathed in sunlight, showcases Elisabeth's striking features, with her piercing eyes, delicate complexion, and elegant neckline. The use of vibrant colors and intricate details typical of the Rococo style further enhance the painting's allure and sophistication. Elisabeth's influence on Spanish politics and culture was significant, and she is remembered as one of the most important figures in Spanish history. This portrait serves as a testament to her power, beauty, and enduring legacy. The painting's vertical orientation and the use of natural light create a sense of intimacy and depth, inviting the viewer to explore the complexities of this remarkable woman's character. Overall, Ranc's masterful depiction of Elisabeth Farnese is a must-see for anyone interested in early modern art and history.
