Don Luis de Góngora y Argote is a portrait painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created circa 1622. The artwork depicts the eponymous poet Luis de Góngora y Argote, a prominent figure of the Spanish Golden Age and one of the most influential Baroque poets. Velázquez, known for his masterful technique and psychological insight, captures Góngora at the age of around 50, presenting him in a sober and reflective pose that reflects the complexity of his character and work.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 50 cm by 40 cm. It is characterized by Velázquez's skillful use of chiaroscuro and a restrained palette, which emphasizes the sitter's contemplative expression and the textures of his clothing. Góngora is portrayed wearing a black cassock and biretta, indicative of his clerical status, with his face illuminated against a dark background, drawing the viewer's attention to his sharp gaze and prominent features.

This portrait is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, as it represents the intersection of two of the most significant figures of Spanish art and literature. The painting is often analyzed for its representation of the tensions between the two men, as Góngora and Velázquez had a complex relationship marked by both admiration and rivalry.

Don Luis de Góngora y Argote by Velázquez is held in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Massachusetts, where it continues to be studied and admired for its portrayal of one of Spain's literary giants and for its embodiment of Velázquez's early portraiture style. The work is a testament to the artist's ability to convey the intellectual and emotional depth of his subjects, making it a valuable piece in the history of Spanish portraiture.
