Portrait équestre de Philippe IV — Histoire et analyse

Un homme en armure élaborée est assis droit sur un cheval cabré, son bâton levé alors qu'il regarde devant lui sur un vaste paysage sous un ciel lumineux et nuageux. C'est Philippe IV d'Espagne, représenté à cheval par Diego Velázquez dans les années 1630. Le portrait a été créé pour la Salle des Royaumes, une aile du Palais du Buen Retiro à Madrid, dans le cadre d'un groupe d'images équestres de la famille royale.

L'œuvre appartient à un moment où Velázquez a été chargé de présenter le roi comme une figure dominante, utilisant le genre du portrait équestre pour évoquer le pouvoir et l'autorité.
