Bernardo Germán de Llórente

He likely first studied with his father and was then a pupil of Cristóbal López, a modest 'market painter' who was considered a follower of Murillo.

[3] When the Spanish court was residing in Sevilla c. 1730, he was asked by Queen Isabel Farnese to paint a portrait of her son Don Philip.

The Portrait of Don Philip at about age 10 shows him dressed in the fashion of the time, in a red coat with rich silver embroidery, the stars of the Holy Spirit and an azure blue sash.

The work shows the influence of the Bourbon court painter Jean Ranc, whom Llórente had the opportunity to meet during his stay in Seville.

[4] The Queen was so happy with the portrait that she gave him several gifts, including François Boucher's set of prints of the Battle of Alexandria.
