A Knight of Alcántara or Calatrava ca. 1650-55 Bartolomé Estebán Murillo Spanish This is thought to be the earliest full-length portrait by Murillo, a Sevillian artist more often associated with genre and religious subjects. Executed before he had developed the softly blended technique of his later paintings, the dramatic lighting and planar colors are associated with Murillos older contemporary, Zubarán. In the nineteenth century, the sitter was mistakenly identified as Don Pedro Núñez de Villavicencio (1640-ca. 1695), whose passion for painting led him to study with both Murillo and Mattia Preti; scholars are still debating the sitters true identity..

Lydia Field Emmet William Merritt Chase (American, 1849-1916). Lydia Field Emmet, 1892. Oil on canvas, 72 x 36 1/8 in. (182.9 x 91.8 cm). One of the most striking portraits by the leading New York painted William Merritt Chase, this dramatic likeness of his talented student and later the successful portait painter Lydia Field Emmet (1866-1952) was an homage to the portraitists he most admired: the Spanish Baroque master Diego Velázquez and the nineteenth-century painters James McNeil Whistler and Edouard Manet. Drawing particularly on the vigorous painterly realism of Veláquez, Chase structured the likeness with strikingly opposed areas of light and dark, and employed such brilliant passages of the painterly freedom as the trailing pink bow of the "Van Dyckian" Baroque-inspired gown. Lydia Emmet's direct gaze and bold pose, with her elbow assertively aimed at the the viewer, speak to her spirit of independence, at the time she was preparing a mural entitled Art, Science, and Literatur
