ATTRIBUTED TO VELÁZQUEZ (DIEGO RODRÍGUEZ DE SILVA Y VELÁZQUEZ), AND / OR JUAN BAUTISTA MARTÍNEZ DEL MAZO. Don Gaspar de Guzmán (1587-1645), Count-Duke of Olivares

ATTRIBUTED TO VELÁZQUEZ (DIEGO RODRÍGUEZ DE SILVA Y VELÁZQUEZ) y AND / OR JUAN BAUTISTA MARTÍNEZ DEL MAZO. Don Gaspar de Guzmán (1587-1645), Count-Duke of Olivares. Artist: Attributed to Velázquez (Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez) (Spanish, Seville 1599-1660 Madrid); and/or Juan Bautista Martínez del Mazo (Spanish, Cuenca ca. 1612-1667 Madrid). Dimensions: 50 1/4 x 41 in. (127.6 x 104.1 cm). Date: ca. 1635.

The Count-Duke of Olivares was Philip IV's powerful prime minister between 1621 and 1643. This picture is either a preliminary model or a reduced variant of a large equestrian portrait of the count-duke (Prado, Madrid), painted perhaps in celebration of a victory over the French at the border town of Fuenterrabía in 1638. In full armor and holding a baton, he is shown as a victorious commander. His horse holds a dressage position known as a levade.
The Count-Duke of Olivares was Philip IV's powerful prime minister between 1621 and 1643. Although of extremely fine quality and incorporating differences, this picture is probably a reduced variant of a life-size equestrian portrait of the count-duke in the Museo del Prado, Madrid. It may have been painted by his son-in-law, Juan Bautista del Mazo--possibly with Velazquez's intervention. Olivares is shown in full armor and holding a baton, as a victorious commander. His horse holds a dressage position known as a levade. In the background smoke rises from the battlefield.
