Additional Details: This reproduction of Velázquez’s Prince Baltasar as a Hunter was produced for the Met’s 1989 retrospective. The original, painted circa 1635-36, depicts Prince Baltasar Carlos, son of King Philip IV, posed as a hunter in regal attire, holding a rifle with a hunting dog at his side. Velázquez’s masterful use of natural light, texture, and rich detail conveys the prince's nobility, confidence, and youthful grace. The wooded backdrop adds depth and underscores the royal hunting tradition. This faithful reproduction captures the elegance and significance of one of Velázquez’s most iconic portraits from Spain’s Golden Age.
