"Portrait of Philip IV of Spain" is a renowned painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, who is considered one of the most important painters of the Spanish Golden Age. This particular portrait is one of many that Velázquez created of Philip IV, whom he served as the official court painter. The exact date of this painting is not definitively known, but it is believed to have been created around the 1620s to 1630s, during the early to middle part of Velázquez's career.

The painting is a half-length depiction of the king, showcasing Velázquez's mastery of portraiture and his ability to convey the dignity and gravity befitting a monarch. Philip IV is portrayed with the regal bearing and elegant attire appropriate to his status. The artist's use of chiaroscuro—a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark—enhances the three-dimensional quality of the figure and imbues the portrait with a sense of depth and realism.

Velázquez's portraits of Philip IV are celebrated for their psychological insight and the nuanced representation of the king's character. In this work, as in others, Velázquez captures a sense of the introspective nature of the king, who was known for his patronage of the arts and his complex personality. The portrait is a testament to the close relationship between the artist and the monarch, as Velázquez had numerous opportunities to observe and paint Philip IV over the years.

"Portrait of Philip IV of Spain" is held in high esteem for its technical excellence and its significance in the oeuvre of Velázquez. It is a prime example of the artist's skill in rendering texture, from the luxurious fabrics of the king's clothing to the delicate lace and intricate embroidery. The painting is also notable for its historical importance, providing insight into the courtly life and royal image-making of 17th-century Spain.

The portrait is part of the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it remains on display. It is one of the key works in the museum's extensive collection of Spanish art and continues to be the subject of scholarly study and admiration by visitors from around the world.
