Three portraits by Vicente López y Portaña


Vicente López y Portaña (September 19, 1772, Valencia – July 22, 1850, Madrid), the premier Spanish portrait painter of his time.  Both of his sons were also portrait painters.  See also here.

María Cristina de Borbón-Dos Sicilias, reina de España, 1830.
Antonio Ugarte y su esposa, María Antonia Larrazábal, 1833.
Señora Delicado de Imaz, 1832-33.

 The precise, thickly painted - even muscular - detail is extraordinary.
