(Paris – Arpajon)
Portrait of King Ferdinand VI of Spain when Infante, holding the Order of the Saint Esprit and the Golden Fleece, inscribed lower right: ferdinan de bourbon/in fan de Spagne/nee le 17…,
oil on canvas, 81 x 65 cm, framed
We are grateful to Gloria Martínez Leiva for confirming the attribution. Her written report accompanies the present painting.
Seated on a richly embroidered cushion on a carpet interwoven with silver and gold, the infant prince and future king is depicted, in this hitherto unpublished portrait, in a highly unusual way. In striking contrast to the surrounding splendour, he is portrayed as a naked young child holding two of the highest chivalric orders of the kingdom, the Golden Fleece and the St. Esprit. Amplifying this contrast of royal power and childlike innocence are the warm, golden hues of the surroundings, and the silvery, cool flesh tones and blue eyes of the prince. This is a colouristic device Houasse used in other portraits, such as the contrast between the cold tones of the sitter’s robes and warm colours of the décor in his portrait of Luis I in the Prado (Madrid, Museo del Prado, oil on canvas, x cm, inv. no. P).
Iconographically this type of portrait of infants is reminiscent of earlier Baroque depictions of the Infant Christ,
