# Ferdinand VI as Prince [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [RANC, Jean]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 144 x 116 cm ## Commentary The Montpellier-born artist developed in Madrid a successful, life-long career as a portrait painter. Ranc's training as a portrait painter is certainly apparent in the delicate treatment of the faces of his subjects and, more so, in the exquisitely rendered fabrics. He correctly interpreted the portraits of Philip V and members of his family such as Prince Ferdinand. ## Related artworks - [Vertumnus and Pomona]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
