EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures the intense gaze and charismatic presence of Jos Antonio Primo de Rivera, a pivotal figure in Spanish politics during the early 20th century. Born in 1903, Primo de Rivera rose to prominence as the founder of the Spanish Falange, a far-right nationalist political party and militia, in 1933. The Falange's ideology combined elements of traditionalism, authoritarianism, and corporatism, and it gained a large following in the wake of political instability and economic hardship in Spain. The portrait was painted during the period of Primo de Rivera's political ascendancy, from 1931 to 1936, by the renowned Spanish artist Anton Saenz de Heredia. Saenz de Heredia was a prolific painter of the 19th and 20th centuries, known for his realistic and evocative portraits. This oil on canvas work, executed in a vertical format, captures the intensity and determination of Primo de Rivera's visage, with his piercing eyes and strong jawline. The portrait hangs in the Senate Palace in Madrid, the seat of the Spanish Senate, a testament to the political significance of Primo de Rivera and the Falange during this tumultuous period in Spanish history. The portrait's presence in the Senate Palace underscores the enduring impact of Primo de Rivera and the Falange on Spanish politics, even as the country continues to grapple with the complex legacy of their ideology and actions.
