卡洛斯四世
During the year 1799, Goya was promoted by the Spanish crown to the position of First Court Painter, and spent the next two years working on a portrait of the family of Charles IV. In 1801, Goya published "Charles IV of Spain and his Family", an oil painting that displays Charles IV of Spain and his family. Influenced by Diego Velázquez’s "Las Meninas", Goya painted the royal family in the foreground and himself in the background at an easel. This painting was shocking as it was very detailed and naturalistic; critics widely believed that the painting was meant as a criticism of the royal family as the members of the family were portrayed in a physically-unflattering manner.
