EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil painting depicts Agustín Esteve Marqués (1753-1820), better known as Young Godoy, in his uniform as a member of the Guard Corps. Agustín Esteve Marqués was a prominent Spanish military figure and courtier during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He rose to prominence under the patronage of King Carlos III and later served as the favorite of King Fernando VII. The young Agustín Esteve Marqués is shown here in the uniform of the Guard Corps, a prestigious military unit that served as the king's personal bodyguard. The intricately detailed uniform, complete with gold braid and ornate decorations, speaks to the high rank and status of the subject. The portrait is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the youthful vitality and confidence of the young man, as well as the meticulous attention to detail in rendering the uniform and its accouterments. Agustín Esteve Marqués' career was marked by a series of military successes and political maneuvers. He played a key role in the Spanish conquest of Algiers in 1801 and was later appointed Governor of Catalonia in 1814. However, his political ambitions and close relationship with the monarchy made him a target during the liberal revolution of 1820, and he was exiled from Spain. This beautiful oil painting, with its rich colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the world of Spanish court life during a pivotal moment in history. It is a valuable addition to any collection of historical portraits or Spanish art, and a reminder of the complex and fascinating history of Spain during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
