EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the regal presence of King Alfonso XIII, who ruled Spain from 1886 to 1941. Painted in 1907 by renowned artist Joaquin Sorolla y Bastida, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases the king wearing the striking uniform of the Hussars. Standing at an impressive height of 208x108.5 cm, this full-length portrait exudes a sense of formality and grandeur. King Alfonso XIII is depicted with utmost attention to detail, every brushstroke capturing his dignified demeanor and commanding aura. The king's attire leaves no doubt about his military affiliation as he dons the resplendent regalia of a Hussar officer. His uniform is adorned with intricate decorations and medals that symbolize his bravery and service to his country. A gleaming sword hangs gracefully by his side, further emphasizing his role as both a soldier and royalty. Sorolla y Bastida's masterful technique brings out the richness of colors and textures in this painting, creating a lifelike representation that truly captures King Alfonso XIII's essence. The artist skillfully combines light and shadow to add depth to the composition, enhancing its visual impact. This extraordinary piece now resides in a private collection but continues to be admired for its historical significance and artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament not only to King Alfonso XIII's reign but also to Sorolla y Bastida's talent in immortalizing royal figures through artistry.
