EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures Carlos III (1716-1788), the fifth son of Felipe V, who ruled as Duke of Parma and King of Naples before ascending to the Spanish throne in 1759. Born in 1716, Carlos was known for his enlightened and benevolent rule, which contrasted with the tumultuous reigns of his predecessors. In this image, Carlos is depicted wearing the royal crown adorned with the distinctive fleur-de-lis symbol of the Spanish monarchy. The intricate gold chain of the Order of the Golden Fleece, one of the most prestigious orders in Europe, drapes over his shoulders, further emphasizing his royal status. The king's curly wig, a popular fashion trend during the 18th century, adds a touch of elegance to the portrait. Carlos III came to the Spanish throne in 1759, following the death of his brother Ferdinand VI. During his reign, he implemented various reforms aimed at modernizing the Spanish economy, improving education, and promoting the arts. He was also a patron of the sciences and founded the Real Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País (Royal Society of Friends of the Country), the first economic society in Spain. This portrait, created during Carlos III's reign in 1788, offers a glimpse into the visual representation of power during the Spanish Enlightenment. The image underscores the king's regal authority while highlighting his commitment to progress and enlightened governance.
