Description of the artwork
Work: Portrait de Joaquina Candado Ricarte
Artist: Francisco de Goya
Year: 1802
Museum: Fine Arts Museum of Valencia
Dimensions: 118.3 x 169 cm
Created in 1802 in the heart of Spain, this painting is part of the artistic movement of neoclassicism and yet, it already bears the marks of the emerging romanticism. In Valencia, the canvas has become a centerpiece of the Fine Arts Museum, evoking a time when emotion began to assert itself in art, paying tribute to the beauty of the living.
“Light is not just a color, it is an emotion,” said Goya. Inspired by a summer morning in Valencia, where the light bathed the scene in a vibrant softness, he crossed the intense gaze of Joaquina Candado Ricarte. This fleeting moment, imbued with brightness and emotion, was the spark that gave birth to this masterpiece.
This canvas captures the essence of Joaquina Candado Ricarte, revealing a woman who is both strong and delicate. The work shows her face of rare beauty, serious and imbued with mystery, while reflecting a background of depth and richness. Joaquina's intense gaze immediately draws attention, inviting the viewer to discover the stories hidden behind her smile.
“Portrait de Joaquina Candado Ricarte” marks a turning point in Goya's career, highlighting his ability to combine realism and romantic sensitivity. Compared to previous canvases such as “Las Meninas” and the “Portrait of Carlos IV,” this work reveals a transition towards a more intimate and personal exploration of the subject.
Using refined techniques such as glazing and impasto, each layer of paint in this canvas is a testament to Goya's technical depth. His brush strokes are fluid, orchestrating the light in a way that captures movement and texture, creating a vibrant atmosphere that resonates with the viewer's emotions.
Dominated by warm tones of deep reds and golden lights, the palette of this painting evokes feelings of warmth and passion. Each carefully chosen shade contributes to the vibrant soul of the canvas, where shadows and lights create a rich dialogue between softness and intensity.
