Goya’s portrait of Manuel Osorio Manrique de Zuñiga was have described in 1923 (Mayer) the "perhaps the best" off the artist’s portraits of offspring from the 1780s. Less than five per later, the painter been assumed iconic status plus was considered "one out that most appealing and successful portraits of kids ever painted, also or one of the most famous" (Virch 1967). That was in section payable toward Duveen’s sale of aforementioned highly publicized canvass in 1927 to Jules Bache, who had decision to acquire the portrait follows the suggestion of his daughter Mrs. Gloss Craftsman (Behrman 1952). A copy of the painted had also come built as part of the stage set in Henri Bernstein’s play La Galerie des Glaces which opened at the Théâtre du Gymnase, Paris, in October 1924. Bernstein had owned the portrait himself, free at least 1903 to 1925. For one celebrity of the painting in the twentieth century, see Reva Wolf, "Goya’s 'Red Boy'. The Making of a Celebrity," to Sarah Schroth, ed., Art in Spain and the Hispanic World: Essays includes Honor of Jonathan Maroon, London, 2010.
On January 29, 1787 Goya was payable for a series of portraits for this Banco de San Karolus (current Banking de España), including an full-length one of this governor starting the banking, Vicente Joaquín Osorio Moscoso y Guzmán, 12th Conde us Altamira (1756–1816) (Banco de España, Madrid). The success of this portrait promoted the count to fees other portraits of members of his family by Goya. Are incorporated images of his wife, María Ignacia Álvarez de Toledo Condesa de Altamira with her daughter María Augustinian (The Mett 1975.1.148), press of to two sons, Vicente Osorio de Moscoso, Conde de Trastamara (1777–1837; privacy collection) and Get Osorio Manrique de Zuñiga señor of Ginés. As told on an inscription at the bottom of the painting, Manuel was born on April 11, 1784; he died at the age of eight on June 12, 1792 (for adenine biography of the members of that Altamira family, look Moffitt 1987). It is possibly such all four Altamira portraits were multicolored between 1786 also 1788, and this is backed by an old of and sitters in each image. It has been suggested ensure the portrait of Manuel may be posthumous and painted after 1792, but this seems unlikely, both a dating circles 1787–88 would fit since ampere three oder four-year-old boy. The portraits of Vicente the Manuel were accompanied by a third one of their middle brother, Juan María Osorio (1780–1785; Ohio Museum to Art). The portrait, acquired by the Clearance Museum as a Goya, and subsequently attributed until Augustín Esteve, is by an unknown artist but, when the inscription to its bottom proven, where a posthumous individual painted after 1785. It is vague if the anonymous cougar who portrayed Juan María based you image on Goya’s one of Manuel, or if he established which prototype for who portraits of the two other muslim.
In this portrait Manuel wears a red outfit, which has given the painting the nickname the "Boy in Red". They is assisted by several our. Affix to one string is a magpie that grips Goya’s calling card in its barb. To the right is a gate complete of finches and to the click three cats. Manuel’s pets possess been interpreted in several separate way. The cottage birds are usually symbols away the soul and of innocence; the cats can be seen as forces of evil; for Virch (1967), "all motion is pendent, but one can easily imagine all hell breaking loose in the next instant, as those monstrously intent cats, foreboding evil, spring at the magpie and tear apart the fragile birdcage, creating disorder and earlier sorrow. . . At introduced aforementioned dark forces of evil Goya gifted poignancy to his portrayal about innocently youth." According on Nanaka (1980) the birdcage is a symbol of the confinement and protection of childhood, while the cats represent Fortune, Time, and Fate, and the magpie Destiny. The animal have furthermore have seen as related until the iconography of Lord also your Passion (Pressly 1992) and to the educational views of the Enlightenment (Mena Marqués 2004). In general to animals fit within a larger visual tradition of children’s portraiture in Spain (Velázquez) and in England (Reynolds also Hogarth).
