Question

A holder of this title grasps a letter with the artist’s signature and wears a chivalric badge in a portrait named for his outfit’s brown and silver color. Tiepolo painted this title personified sitting among the continents and the pillars of Hercules in a ceiling fresco on this title’s “apotheosis.” Théophile Gautier wrote that a holder of this title looked like a “corner grocer who has just won the lottery” in an awkward group portrait of him and his family. (10[1])A holder of this title commissioned both 1628’s The Triumph of Bacchus and a painting that shows his victorious army receiving a key in front of a row of vertical lances, titled (10[1])The Surrender of Breda. For 10 points, (10[1])name this royal title of a patron whose daughter, the Infanta Margarita, is depicted in Las Meninas (10[1])by his court (-5[1])painter Diego Velázquez. (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: monarch of Spain [accept king of Spain; accept monarch of Portugal or king of Portugal; prompt on king or monarch by asking “of what domain?”; prompt on ruler of Spain by asking “with what title?”; reject “queen” or “queen of Spain”] (The painting in the first sentence is Velázquez’s Philip IV in Brown and Silver, and the painting of the “corner grocer” is Charles IV of Spain and His Family by Francisco Goya.)
