Gaspar de Guzmán, Count-Duke of Olivares, on Horseback () is an oil on canvas painting by Spanish painter Diego Velázquez, made around the year 1636. It has been in the Museo del Prado in Madrid since its inauguration in 1819. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestrian%20Portrait%20of%20the%20Count-Duke%20of%20Olivares | 8262674 | 1 | 230dd6ee3a2ce8efe97a1db6e64ed7e813470fa5e34830a89c95bad9dcc608fb | 226 | 59 |
This painting is an exception for the style of Velázquez as its design and color are more vigorous and pompous than his usual more somber portraits. The object of the work was to validate the power of Gaspar de Guzman, Count of Olivares and Duke of Sanlúcar la Mayor, known as the Count-Duke of Olivares, the chief minis... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestrian%20Portrait%20of%20the%20Count-Duke%20of%20Olivares | 8262674 | 2 | e53bdf6fe4f92889ddfa63b8321b6f84579a198eee49b479ed7d63f1bfdb9928 | 396 | 84 |

Olivares is portrayed on horseback, an honor usually reserved for monarchs that reflects the power he attained as valido or right hand of the king (equivalent to the current prime minister's office). The picture resembles equestrian portraits Velázquez had painted for the Hall of Realms of the Buen Retiro Palace but wa... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestrian%20Portrait%20of%20the%20Count-Duke%20of%20Olivares | 8262674 | 4 | b7d24dff4e3832acd557fd16b8517ec8b2622e85c9a610aeb0de152f4540b6c7 | 746 | 150 |
The Count-Duke wears a wide-brimmed feathered hat and the band of the State; the hand holds a marshal's baton, which marks the direction of the battle. The armor he wears is possibly preserved in the Palace of Liria of Madrid (collection of the House of Alba). The Count-Duke looks at the viewer, making sure all can wit... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestrian%20Portrait%20of%20the%20Count-Duke%20of%20Olivares | 8262674 | 5 | 4c953c1b7735e1758f4f48ee356cdcd924b675a9fbb65ccb9ec6ab8b7b0e3570 | 543 | 122 |
The horse raises its front legs, performing a somersault or levade as it looks toward the battlefield. Drawing a diagonal from the hills that can be seen in the landscape, the composition provides energy to the portraiture; in this dynamism, the work reminds of Rubens. This equestrian portrait differs from those made f... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestrian%20Portrait%20of%20the%20Count-Duke%20of%20Olivares | 8262674 | 6 | 2a0ac6102dcbd6f51547a0d4c01368a95f27410bf9a233631751322866320fd2 | 569 | 116 |
The battle in the distance is treated with small spots. The landscape is very schematic, as defined Velázquez, with no buildings or characters. Perhaps it is because the painter did not know the town of Hondarribia, where the battle happened as described, although other sources believe the painting did not refer to any... | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestrian%20Portrait%20of%20the%20Count-Duke%20of%20Olivares | 8262674 | 7 | 6e7c41ae1168b71fe2d93fff2057d0678a4be80f54693c03dd8799a696cf5984 | 470 | 94 |
The rich chromaticism and treatment of light give the scene a great vitality. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestrian%20Portrait%20of%20the%20Count-Duke%20of%20Olivares | 8262674 | 8 | edb24a83469213e3000b52fef2abd63258a584e005956917fbd8d4a8435b6168 | 77 | 15 |
