Painting Description
"Portrait of Don Ferdinando di Borbone, Duke of Parma" is an oil painting by the German neoclassical painter Johann Zoffany (1733–1810), who became renowned for his theatrical and society portraits. The work depicts Don Ferdinando di Borbone (1751–1802), who was the Duke of Parma, Piacenza, and Guastalla from 1765 until his death. Don Ferdinando was a patron of the arts and a member of the Spanish royal family, being the son of Philip, Duke of Parma, and Princess Louise-Élisabeth of France, as well as the grandson of King Louis XV of France.
Zoffany, who spent a significant part of his career in England, was known for his keen ability to capture the likeness and character of his sitters. The portrait of Don Ferdinando is a testament to Zoffany's skill in rendering the aristocratic poise and elegance of his subject. The Duke is typically depicted in a formal pose, often dressed in the regalia befitting his status, with attention to the textures of his garments and the trappings of his office.
The exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, but it is believed to have been completed during the latter part of the 18th century, a period when Zoffany enjoyed significant success as a portraitist. The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value, providing insight into the representation of European nobility during the period and the cultural exchange between the Italian states and the broader European artistic community.
"Portrait of Don Ferdinando di Borbone, Duke of Parma" is considered an important work within Zoffany's oeuvre and is studied for its stylistic qualities and its place within the broader context of European portraiture. The painting's current location or ownership status is not widely publicized, which is not uncommon for works of art from this era that may reside in private collections or have limited public exhibition records.
As an artist, Johann Zoffany was a member of the Royal Academy in London and his works are held in various prestigious collections worldwide, including the Royal Collection, the National Gallery in London, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, among others. His portraits continue to be celebrated for their lively representation of the social and cultural life of the 18th century.
