King Phillip IV of Spain

King Philip IV of Spain, Diego Velázquez (c.1644) At The Frick Collection, this commanding portrait shows Velázquez at the height of his power. With his unmatched eye for naturalism and royal psychology, he captures Philip IV not as an icon, but as a living, breathing monarch; poised, restrained, and unmistakably human.
