About Artwork: (ca. 1636 or later) "The Count-Duke of Olivares was Philip IV’s powerful prime minister between 1621 and 1643. This picture is either a preliminary model or a reduced variant of a large equestrian portrait of the count-duke (Prado, Madrid), painted perhaps in celebration of a victory over the French at the border town of Fuenterrabía in 1638. In full armor and holding a baton, he is shown as a victorious commander. His horse holds a dressage position known as a levade.
The count-duke of Olivares was Philip IV’s powerful prime minister between 1621 and 1643. Around 1635, Velázquez produced a monumental, life-size portrait of him on horseback, today in the Museo del Prado, Madrid. Based on that composition, Velázquez’s son-in-law and pupil, Mazo, produced this version on a reduced scale. It is one of Mazo’s most accomplished paintings and attests to the importance of Velázquez’s workshop in solidifying political and social power through the circulation of portraits." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
