Description: | This portrait of an unknown ecclesiastic was formerly attributed to Mariano Salvador Maella, although it is more likely to be an early copy after a lost or unidentified work by him. It was probably produced in the last decades of the eighteenth century. The figure holding a prayer book, may be a Capuchin friar. Members of the Capuchin Order became highly influential in the Spanish court during the reigns of Charles III and his son Charles IV. | Subjects: | portrait; religion (ecclesiastic Capuchin friar) | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Maella, Mariano Salvador de (Spanish painter, 1739-1819) Æ Attributed to after Previously attributed to Maella, Mariano Salvador de (Spanish painter, 1739-1819) Previously attributed to Spanish School | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=9042... | Go to resource |
