EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning equestrian statue, created by the renowned Italian artist Pietro Tacca (1577-1640), depicts King Philip IV of Spain (r. 1621-1665) astride his horse. The sculpture, begun in the early 17th century, is a masterpiece of the Baroque period and is located in Madrid's Plaza de Oriente. The vertical composition of the statue, with the king and his horse facing directly towards the viewer, adds to the sense of grandeur and power. The statue is cast in bronze and is bathed in the warm, golden light of the Spanish sun, enhancing the rich colors and intricate details of the artwork. The outdoor setting of Plaza de Oriente, with its lush gardens and fountains, provides a beautiful and serene backdrop for the equestrian statue. The statue's placement in the plaza, which was designed as a grand entrance to the Alcazar palace, further emphasizes its importance as a symbol of the power and wealth of the Spanish monarchy during the 17th century. Pietro Tacca's equestrian statue of Philip IV is a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Spanish Golden Age and continues to be a beloved and iconic landmark in Madrid.
