Ritratto di cardinale, probabilmente il cardinale Don Fernando Niño de Guevara (1541-1609)

ca. 1600
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 619
Questo famoso ritratto, un punto di riferimento nella storia dell’arte del ritratto europea, è divenuto sinonimo non solo dell’arte di El Greco, ma anche della Spagna e dell’Inquisizione. Il personaggio ritratto, Niño de Guevara, divenne cardinale nel 1596 raggiungendo il grado di Inquisitore generale. Guevara fu a Toledo nei mesi di febbraio e marzo del 1600, e tornò poi a visitare la città nel 1601 e 1604; El Greco, che all’epoca viveva in quella città, deve aver eseguito il ritratto in una di queste occasioni.
