Formal portraits served as official images that circulated throughout Europe and the Americas; here, a somber simplicity befitting the pious monarch departs from the opulence of earlier Spanish court portraiture. After Velázquez executed a first version of this portrait for the king, today in the Museo del Prado, the courtier Don García Pérez de Araciel paid the artist for this autograph replica on December 4, 1624. Because Velázquez later modified the first version, The Met painting is an important record of that inaugural portrait, which initiated an influential series of images through which Velázquez helped Philip IV forge a calculated condensation of power and piety.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Velázquez","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49888255574259,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (78 3\/4\" x 40 1\/2\")","offer_id":49888255607027,"sku":null,"price":4625.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (25\" x 12 7\/8\")","offer_id":49888255639795,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (30 1\/2\" x 15 5\/8\")","offer_id":49888255672563,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (37 3\/8\" x 19 1\/4\")","offer_id":49888255705331,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (48 1\/4\" x 24 3\/4\")","offer_id":49888255738099,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (58\" x 29 7\/8\")","offer_id":49888255770867,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (68 3\/8\" x 35 1\/8\")","offer_id":49888255803635,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (82\" x 42 1\/4\")","offer_id":49888255836403,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/PhilipIV.jpg?v=1785044898","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/philip-iv-1605-1665-king-of-spain","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
