"Portrait of Joseph Bonaparte (1768-1844) King of Spain, 1808" is a notable oil painting by the French artist Jean Baptiste Joseph Wicar, which captures the likeness of Joseph Bonaparte during his brief reign as King of Spain. Joseph, the elder brother of the famed French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, was installed as the monarch of Spain after Napoleon's forces invaded the country and deposed the reigning Bourbon king, Ferdinand VII, in 1808. The portrait is a significant historical artifact, as it reflects the political dynamics and the use of art for propaganda during the Napoleonic era.

Wicar, who was a student of the acclaimed neoclassical painter Jacques-Louis David, is known for his portraits and historical scenes. In this work, he employs his neoclassical training to depict Joseph Bonaparte with an air of regal dignity, possibly aiming to legitimize his subject's contested rule over Spain. The painting is characterized by its fine detail, controlled brushwork, and the sober, yet authoritative representation of the sitter, which was typical of the portraiture of the period.

The "Portrait of Joseph Bonaparte (1768-1844) King of Spain, 1808" not only serves as an example of Wicar's artistic skill but also provides insight into the period's political upheavals and the role of portraiture in shaping royal identity and power. The artwork is an important piece for both art historians and scholars of Napoleonic history, offering a visual document of the era's complex socio-political landscape.
