Infanta Margarita in Lviv

Lviv Potocki Palace invites to attend a unique «Single Painting Exhibition» art event. This time the «single painting» is «Infanta Margarita» by Diego Velasquez, representative of the Spanish Golden Age Madrid school of paining, the leading artist in the court of King Philip IV. The paining belongs to the collection of the Bohdan and Varvara Khanenko Art Museum.
Oksana Kozynkevych, curator of the single painting exhibition at the Lviv National Gallery of Arts, says that the canvas has been bought in 1912 at a Berlin auction sale of Hamburg-based Weber’s collection. The picture was auctioned off after being kept in private collections for a long time. The first documented evidence of the picture appeared in 1827, when it belonged to Spanish artist Vicente Lopez y Portana.
The picture had long been considered to be the portrait of another princess, infanta Mariana Teresa (1638-83), the elder daughter of Philip IV from the first marriage. She later became the queen consort of France, the wife of Louis XIV. It was established as late as in the prewar years that the portrayed girl was the king’s younger daughter, the child of his second wife Mariana of Austria.
“The portrait of the infanta is of a great museum and historical value and it proves a high artistic level of the Spanish Golden Age of painting. It is ascribed to Diego Velazquez, although there are some other assumptions,” Kozynkevych says.
Address: 15, Kopernika street, Lviv. Lviv Potocki Palace . The picture will remain on display until December 27.
