1623 -1660 · king, horseman, hunter and penitent
Velazquez painted Philip IV for nearly four decades. The same face runs through youth, military campaign, hunting, horse and prayer without ceasing to be a person behind the function.
Velázquez became painter to the king in 1623 and from then on accompanied the image of Philip IV throughout almost his entire reign. The first portraits establish the long silhouette, the Habsburg lip and the black sobriety of the Spanish court. Philip IV on horseback, designed for the Salon de Reinos in the 1630s, transformed the sovereign into a territorial commander, mount and landscape giving movement to authority. Philip IV hunter replaces armor with a practical suit for the Torre de la Parada: rifle, dog and sierra express mastery and patience. Philip IV in Fraga, painted in 1644 during the Catalan campaign, combines a silver-red costume and direct presence in a specific military context. Philip IV in prayer finally shows a more restrained devotional dimension. As the king ages and crises accumulate, Velazquez often simplifies the system and lets the face speak more. The selection " Philip IV by Diego Velázquez" notably compares Philip IV on horseback and Philip IV hunter. His reading favors light.
Velazquez's privilege is not to have invented a royal formula, but to have been able to show how a king changes within that formula.
