Maria Luisa of Parma (1751–1819), Later Queen of Spain

Artist: Laurent Pécheux (French, 1729–1821)

Date: 1765

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, United States

Description

This portrait of Maria Luisa of Parma, granddaughter of both King Louis XV of France and Philip V of Spain, was sent to Madrid in advance of her marriage to her first cousin, the future Carlos IV of Spain. It is exemplary of formal eighteenth-century court portraits. Painted in Italy for Spanish eyes, it teems with French decorative arts, evidence of Parisian craftsmen’s international preeminence in the period. The bronze clock case is supported by an exoticized elephant, the gold snuff box is fitted with a miniature portrait of Maria Luisa’s future husband, and the impressive chair comes from a suite of furniture commissioned in Paris by her mother a decade prior.

Don Quixote Reading

Artist: Honoré Daumier (French, 1898-1879)

Date: c. 1867

Medium: Oil on panel

Collection: National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia

Description

Miguel de Cervantes’s hugely popular novel Don Quixote de la Mancha (1605–15) was a satire of the romance of chivalry. From 1850 onward, Cervantes’s novel provided the great French satirical artist Honoré Daumier with subject matter for nearly thirty paintings, over a period of some twenty years. Daumier here shows Don Quixote alone in his study, absorbed in reading the romances that will cause him to set out on a series of absurd adventures with his squire, Sancho Panza.
