About the piece
This masterful 1801 portrait by Francisco Goya depicts Manuel Godoy in a triumphant yet relaxed pose following the War of the Oranges. Dressed in full general's attire, Godoy is situated within a military camp, the composition anchored by a large captured flag and the moody, sweeping skies characteristic of Goya's later style.
