EDITORS COMMENTS
Manuel Roda y Arrieta (1706/1707-1782), a prominent Spanish politician and the founder of the History Academy, is depicted in this striking portrait painted by Pompeo Batoni in 1765. The portrait, which is currently housed at the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid, Spain, captures Roda y Arrieta in the prime of his career during the modern age of the 18th century. Roda y Arrieta is shown wearing the formal attire of the time, including a voluminous wig, a richly embroidered coat, and a crisp shirt with a lace jabot. He is seen holding a quill pen and an inkwell in his right hand, while his left hand rests on a document sealed with a wax seal. The document, which is held against his chest, suggests the importance of the political matters he was handling. The portrait reflects the European artistic traditions of the time, with Batoni's masterful use of light and shadow, and the intricate details of the clothing and accessories. The portrait also underscores the significance of the written word in politics during the 18th century, with Roda y Arrieta's pen and paper serving as symbols of his power and authority. Overall, this portrait offers a glimpse into the world of Spanish politics during the modern age, and the important role that figures like Roda y Arrieta played in shaping the country's history.
