EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the regal presence of Carlos III, the fifth son of Felipe V, who ascended to the throne of Spain in 1759 as Carlos III. Born as Carlos de Borbón y Farnesio, Duke of Parma and King of Naples, Carlos III is renowned for his enlightened and benevolent rule during his 33-year reign. Born in 1716, Carlos III was educated in the arts, sciences, and military tactics, reflecting the intellectual and cultural influences of the Age of Enlightenment. He brought these values to the Spanish court, promoting reforms in education, industry, and infrastructure. The portrait showcases Carlos III's stately demeanor and regal attire, with his chest adorned with the Order of the Golden Fleece and the collar of the Order of the Tower and Sword. His piercing gaze and strong jawline convey a sense of determination and leadership. Carlos III's reign marked a period of renewed national pride and prosperity for Spain. He oversaw the expansion of the Spanish colonies in America and the establishment of the Real Academia de la Historia, the Spanish national historical institute. Carlos III's military campaigns against France and Portugal also strengthened Spain's borders and solidified its position as a European power. Despite his military prowess, Carlos III was known for his compassion and concern for the welfare of his subjects. He implemented social reforms, such as the abolition of the Inquisition's power to impose the death penalty and the establishment of a system of public works to provide employment for the poor. This portrait serves as a testament to Carlos III's enduring legacy as an enlightened and benevolent ruler who modernized Spain and left a lasting impact on its history.
