La corte de Carlos IV - Facts
The book starts with a prologue which mentions Goya's painting 'The family of Carlos IV'. This portrait was painted in Aranjuez and Madrid in the spring and summer of 1800, shortly after Goya was named First Chamber Painter. The scene is presided over by Queen María Luisa de Parma and King Carlos IV, at the center. Beside them are their children, the infante Francisco de Paula and the infanta María Isabel. On the left are the Prince of Asturias and future Fernando VII; the infante Carlos María de Isidro, who was second in succession to the throne; the infanta María Josefa, who was the King´s sister; and an unidentified young woman. On the right are the infante Antonio Pascual, the King´s brother; a rendering in profile of Carlota Joaquina, Queen of Portugal and eldest daughter of the Monarchs and the Prince and Princess of Parma: infanta María Luisa, holding her son Carlos Luis; and her husband, Luis de Bourbon, the future King of Etruria.
