(2) Federico de Madrazo y Küntz
(b Rome, 9 Feb 1815; d Madrid, 10 June 1894). Son of (1) José de Madrazo y Agudo. In 1818 the family returned from Rome to Madrid, where Federico studied painting under his father and the other leading Spanish Neo-classical painters Juan Antonio de Ribera and José Aparicio. Federico’s Continence of Scipio (1831; Madrid, Real Acad. S Fernando Mus.) gained him the status of academician. It shows the French Neo-classical traditions instilled in him at the Madrid Academia by his professors, all pupils of Jacques-Louis David and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Federico won immediate popularity in court circles with his sympathetic rendering of Ferdinand VII in the King’s Illness (1832; Madrid, Patrm. N.), and that same year (1832) he was named Pintor Supernumerario de Cámara.
