"Portrait of Carlos IV with a Horse" is an equestrian portrait by the renowned Spanish painter Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, depicting King Charles IV of Spain. As one of the significant royal portraits by Goya, this work exemplifies the artist's mastery in capturing the regal aura and the intricate details of the subject's attire and the horse's adornments. Painted circa 1800, during Goya's tenure as the First Court Painter to the Spanish Crown, the portrait showcases the influence of Velázquez's equestrian portraits, a traditional lineage of royal representation that Goya both embraced and subtly reinterpreted.

The painting is notable for its grand scale and the dynamic representation of the monarch on horseback, a pose intended to convey power and majesty. Goya's treatment of light and shadow, as well as his use of loose, expressive brushstrokes, lends the portrait a sense of immediacy and vitality that was characteristic of his mature style. Despite the traditional subject matter, Goya's nuanced approach to portraiture, including his honest depiction of his sitters, is evident in this work.

"Portrait of Carlos IV with a Horse" is part of a broader series of royal portraits by Goya, which includes individual and group likenesses of the royal family. These paintings were commissioned to reinforce the political status and legitimacy of the Bourbon monarchy in Spain during a period of social and political upheaval. The portrait of Charles IV is particularly significant as it captures the king at a time when Spain was facing challenges both domestically and abroad, including the looming Peninsular War.

The painting is held in a prominent public collection and has been the subject of scholarly attention for its artistic and historical significance. It stands as a testament to Goya's complex relationship with the court and his innovative approach to the genre of portraiture, which would influence generations of artists to come.
