Fernando VI de Borbón, child.
Author: Jean Ranc. 1723.
Oil on canvas, 144 x 116 cm.
Museo del Prado. Madrid.
A wonderful portrait, ostentatious and majestic wrapped in a regal atmosphere, with a well-organized management, from close to the maximum ; depth blue sky. The portraits of monarchs, princes, and infants, are even stronger in shaping the teaching of courtly portraiture, as evidenced by this elegant portrait of Fernando VI still a child. The infant wears salmon coat, jacket and half old golden Autumn, wearing the insignia of the Order of Saint-Esprit. He is accompanied by a dog. Ranc has captured so successful and charming innocence of childhood.
