Painting Description
"Retratos de Felipe V y Maria Luisa de Saboya" (Portraits of Philip V and Maria Luisa of Savoy) is a set of two paintings by the Spanish artist Miguel Jacinto Meléndez, created in the early 18th century. These works are significant for their depiction of the first Bourbon king of Spain, Philip V, and his queen, Maria Luisa of Savoy. As a court painter, Meléndez was tasked with capturing the royal likeness and his portraits are notable for their detailed representation of the monarchs, providing insight into the royal attire and aesthetics of the period.
Philip V, the grandson of Louis XIV of France, ascended to the Spanish throne in 1700, marking the beginning of the Bourbon dynasty in Spain. His reign saw the country through the tumultuous times of the War of the Spanish Succession. Maria Luisa of Savoy, his first wife, played a significant role as a consort during the early years of his reign. The portraits by Meléndez are valuable historical records of the royal couple, reflecting the political and cultural shifts of the era, as well as the personal narratives of the monarchs.
Miguel Jacinto Meléndez's artistic style is characterized by his realistic approach and attention to detail, which can be observed in the intricate rendering of fabrics, jewels, and decorations in these portraits. The paintings are also an example of the Baroque style transitioning into Rococo, with a focus on elegance and refinement. Meléndez's work contributed to the visual documentation of the Spanish monarchy and has been studied for its artistic merit as well as its historical significance.
The "Retratos de Felipe V y Maria Luisa de Saboya" remain important works in the oeuvre of Miguel Jacinto Meléndez and are often highlighted in discussions of Spanish portraiture and the representation of royalty in the visual arts. They continue to attract scholarly attention and are exhibited in a way that allows the public to engage with the legacy of the Spanish Bourbon monarchy.
