Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes
Spanish, born Zaragoza, active in Madrid (1746-1828)
Vicente María de Vera de Aragón, Duque de la Roca
Oil on canvas, ca. 1795

Francisco de Goya was an artist of remarkable talents, responsible for works ranging from altarpieces to nudes, from brutally realistic images of war to the visionary scenes of his print series. The most highly sought portraitist in Madrid, he served as the painter to the Spanish Court, where the Duque de la Roca was one of the leading intellects. He is shown in the uniform of the Royal Army with the Order of Carlos III, the Order of Santiago on his left breast; the emblem of the Golden Fleece. While there can be no question of the sitter's importance, there is something chilling in his heavy-lidded gaze. Goya's penetrating view of human psychology - fully evident in this masterpiece - has few equals in the history of portraiture.
