	Goya may have been passionate about the humble people, but at least until he exiled in France, he never ceased to socialize with the rich and noble, even kings, whom he would portray both magnificently and realistically. Francisco de Goya - King Carlos IV in Hunting Costume (oil on canvas, 1799)

	Two years later, Goya would create this extraordinary masterpiece - indeed, a magnificent portrait. Francisco de Goya - Don Manuel Godoy (oil on canvas, 1801)

	Wonderful. The compositions are superb. The amount of observation and skill involved is incredible. It is an age long past and we gain an intimate glimpse. Roger

	Goya painted several great portraits of Fernando VII, but none as magnificent as this which I am pleased to show at this thread. NOTE: This photo has been provided by the Museo del Prado in Madrid. You may click on it for a huge enlargement. Francisco de Goya - Fernando VII in his Robes of State (oil on canvas, 1814)
