[edit]

When the portrait by Velazquez is mentioned, do you mean this painting? Because it is not a portrait of Phillip IV but rather of Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Austria... There is a portrait of Phillip IV hunting, but the dog doesn't appear to be sniffing his crotch as it is in the image of Don Fernando de Austria. Lithoderm 21:53, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, although I think V did various others of the King in sportswear. Johnbod (talk) 22:07, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Bugger, I screwed up. It was a Titian. Ceoil sláinte 02:41, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
"royal crotch" ? seriously ... Chocolate Horlicks (talk) 13:58, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The "loyally sniffing" part cracked me up. I like it... ;-) -- Syzygy (talk) 14:36, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Royal crotch?

[edit]

Are you serious? The nose of neither dog is anywhere near the crotch or codpiece. These are just dogs looking up at their masters. Caeruleancentaur (talk) 14:29, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The first paragraph of the article states that this painting was created in 1799. The statement "Goya had painted Carlos IV's father in 1799, when the artist himself was a young man" from the third paragraph cannot also be true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lytsar (talkcontribs) 17:51, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for spotting this - fixed. Ceoil sláinte 22:35, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
