Im never getting over the fact that the Roman senate (read Cato the Elder) got mad at Scipio Africanus cause Antiochus III was too obvious with how much he liked Scipio during the Roman–Seleucid War. Sorry, they were also mad because the terms he imposed on Philip V that were way too lenient and somehow they became penpals who talked about Scipio’s strategies for his past battles. Oh right, sorry, they were also mad because his terms for Carthage & Hannibal were also too lenient and he ended up laughing with and being flattered by Hannibal in Ephesus a decade after the end of the war. Seriously Scipio what is up with all your enemies wanting to fuck you

Fanart of Philip V of Spain

I illustrated him savoring his dinner after a long day. He took a bite of his steak but found it chewy and dry. He instructed a servant to remove the steak and chose to eat pastries and tarts instead.

I hope you all liked it, Thank you

Philip V , King of Spain

Artist: Jean Ranc Montpellier (Spanish, 1674-1735)

Date: 1723

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Museo Nacional del Prado, Madrid, Spain

Description

Official portrait of the first monarch of the House of Bourbon in Spain, Philip V (1683-1746). Grandson of Louis XIV (1638-1715), he was born in Versailles and was proclaimed King of Spain in 1700. He married twice, had numerous children and died in Madrid in 1746.

The King wears armour, carries the baton of command and is accompanied by a war helmet placed in front of him on a stone. In addition to the richly embroidered jacket and the red sash around his waist, garments worthy of his status, the Monarch wears the insignia of the Golden Fleece and the band of Saint-Esprit, symbols of his Spanish dominion, as heir to the House of Burgundy, and of his French ancestry.

This composition became the model for the King's official portrait, repeated with few variations countless times by various artists. It is distinguished by its elegance, refinement and distinction, characteristics that are directly linked to French painting of the time and especially to the work of Hyacinthe Rigaud (1659-1743), master of Ranc and court painter to Louis XIV and Louis XV of France.
