The Story Behind the Painting
1812
Oil on canvas
294 cm (115.75 in.) x 241 cm (94.88 in.)
Wellington Collection at Apsley House (English Heritage), London, United Kingdom.
The execution is very sketchy; numerous alterations are visible and parts of the canvas have been painted using a palette knife. It is accepted that this portrait was painted in three weeks in Agust 1812. Clearly the speed at which it was completed would account for its sketchy appearance. An x-ray shows conclusively that Goya painted the Duke's head over an earlier sitter's head. This would also explain the need to produce a final canvas at some speed.
Our artists reproduce this figurative composition in oil on canvas by hand, preserving the tonal range that makes portrait oil painting so sought after for a bedroom.
