Portrait de cardinal, probablement Don Fernando Niño de Guevara (1541–1609)

ca. 1600
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 619
Ce célèbre portrait, qui fit date dans l’histoire du genre en Europe, est devenu synonyme non seulement du Greco mais également de l’Espagne sous l’Inquisition. Le modèle, Niño de Guevara, devint cardinal en 1596 avant d’être élevé à la charge d’inquisiteur général. Niño de Guevara séjourna à Tolède en février et en mars 1600, puis en 1601 et en 1604. C’est sans doute pendant l’un de ces séjours que le portrait fut peint, puisque le Greco vivait lui aussi dans cette ville à la même époque.
