"The Count-Duke of Olivares on Horseback" is a 1634 painting by the Spanish artist Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain. This equestrian portrait depicts Gaspar de Guzmán, Count-Duke of Olivares, who was the powerful favourite and minister of King Philip IV of Spain. The painting is celebrated for its majestic portrayal of Olivares, who is shown in armor on a rearing horse, symbolizing his military prowess and leadership during the Thirty Years' War.

Velázquez's work is renowned for its dramatic realism and skilled use of chiaroscuro, which vividly highlights the dynamic figure of Olivares against a stormy sky. The composition reflects the influence of Italian baroque art, which Velázquez encountered during his travels in Italy, as well as the tradition of equestrian portraiture in Habsburg Spain. This painting is one of several royal portraits by Velázquez that helped to consolidate his position as the leading court painter in Madrid and one of the foremost artists of the Baroque period. The Count-Duke of Olivares on Horseback is not only a powerful political statement, reflecting the ambitions and ideals of the Spanish monarchy, but also a milestone in the history of Western art, showcasing Velázquez's mastery in capturing the human figure and his ability to convey complex narratives through his paintings.
