The "Equestrian Portrait of Don Gaspar de Guzmán, Count-Duke of Olivares" is a significant painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, created during the Golden Age of Spanish art. This portrait, painted circa 1635, is one of a series of equestrian portraits commissioned by King Philip IV of Spain to glorify his reign. It depicts Don Gaspar de Guzmán, who was the Count-Duke of Olivares and the king's powerful favourite and prime minister.

Velázquez, who was the leading artist of the Spanish court and one of the most important painters of the Baroque period, is renowned for his masterful handling of both the human figure and the horse, as well as his ability to convey the grandeur and dignity of his subjects. In this work, he presents Olivares in full military regalia, riding a rearing horse, which is a traditional pose meant to symbolize the subject's leadership and prowess. The dynamic composition, along with the dramatic use of light and shadow, imbues the painting with a sense of movement and vitality.

The "Equestrian Portrait of Don Gaspar de Guzmán" is not only a testament to Velázquez's skill as a portraitist but also serves as a political statement, reinforcing the power and authority of the Spanish monarchy and its courtiers. The painting is part of a collection of royal portraits by Velázquez that includes other prominent figures such as Philip IV and Queen Isabel of Bourbon. It is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it remains an important work in the history of Western art, reflecting the grandeur of the Spanish court and the genius of Velázquez.
