"The Family of Charles IV" is a monumental oil painting created by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes in 1800-1801. This work is one of Goya's most renowned and scrutinized pieces, depicting the Spanish royal family of King Charles IV with striking realism and psychological depth. The painting measures 280 cm × 336 cm (110 in × 132 in) and is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.

Goya, who served as the court painter for Charles IV, was commissioned to create this family portrait, which includes the king, his wife Queen Maria Luisa of Parma, their children, and other relatives. The composition of the painting is reminiscent of Diego Velázquez's "Las Meninas," with Goya himself appearing in the background, painting the scene. This self-referential inclusion not only pays homage to Velázquez but also asserts Goya's role and presence within the royal court.

The arrangement of the figures in the painting is notable for its candid and unidealized portrayal of the royal family. Each member is depicted with individual characteristics and expressions, capturing their personalities and the dynamics within the family. The central figures, King Charles IV and Queen Maria Luisa, are positioned slightly off-center, surrounded by their children and relatives in a manner that suggests both unity and individual distinction.

Goya's approach to this royal portrait is often interpreted as a subtle critique of the monarchy. The naturalistic and sometimes unflattering representation of the royals contrasts with the more idealized depictions typical of royal portraiture at the time. This has led to various interpretations regarding Goya's intentions, with some art historians suggesting that the painting reflects the artist's ambivalence towards his patrons and the political climate of Spain at the turn of the 19th century.

"The Family of Charles IV" remains a significant work in the study of Goya's oeuvre and Spanish art history, offering insights into the artist's technique, his relationship with the royal family, and the broader socio-political context of the period.
