EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies (1751-1825) is depicted as a confident and regal monarch, standing tall before an ornate interior adorned with rich fabrics and a pavement of intricately designed tiles. Painted by the renowned artist Anton Raphael Mengs (1728-1779) in the mid-18th century, the portrait captures the essence of the Bourbon king at the height of his power. Ferdinand I, born in 1751, ascended to the throne of Sicily in 1759, following the death of his father, Charles III. In 1734, his father had also become King of Naples and the Two Sicilies, and upon Ferdinand's accession, he united the two kingdoms under his rule. The House of Bourbon had a long and complex history in Italy, with the kingdoms of Sicily and Naples passing through various branches of the family. In the portrait, Ferdinand is shown wearing the royal robes and holding a scepter and a baton adorned with ermine, symbols of his monarchical power. The crown rests on a table behind him, adding to the grandeur of the image. The young king's serious expression and steady gaze convey a sense of determination and strength, reflecting the challenges he faced during his reign. This portrait of Ferdinand I is now housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Bourbon monarchy in Italy and Europe. The painting is a valuable contemporary representation of a monarch from the 18th century, offering insights into the life and times of a king who played a significant role in shaping the history of the Two Sicilies.
