Title:	Carlos III Hispania Atque Indiarum Rex (Charles III, King of Spain)
Engraver:	Morghen, Filippo (Florence, 1730 - Naples, 1777)
Designer:	Paderni, Camillus (Naples, c. 1720 - 1770)
Date:	c. 1760
Medium:	Original Engraving
Note:	Filippo Morghen was an accomplished eighteenth century engraver of portraits, architectural views, antiquities, plans and maps. He studied art in Rome for a period of seven years before settling in Naples were he not only created etchings and engravings but established himself as a print seller and as a publisher. Filippo Morghen was a leading engraver for the recent archaeological discoveries detailed in the Antiquities of Herculaneum, published in Naples in 1757, and the sole engraver and publisher of Views of Ruins in the Environs of Naples, published in 1766. In fact, reference is made to the discoveries at Herculaneum (then a Spanish possession) in the lower right corner of this portrait engraving of Charles III, King of Spain, where we see ancient pottery and sculpture as well as archeological tools-of-the-trade, such as a shovel and a pick.
	Filippo Morghen's fine engravings earned him the title of 'Engraver to the King of the Two Sicilies'. He was also the father and teacher of Rafaello Morghen (1758-1833), one of the most influential engravers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Carlos III Hispania Atque Indiarum Rex is based upon a design created by the eighteenth century Italian artist, Camillus Paderni (Naples, c. 1720 - 1770).
Note:	A Biographical Note: Carlos III ascended to the Spanish throne in 1759. The forty-three year old monarch had already reigned for twenty five years in Naples and was to remain on the Spanish throne for almost thirty more years (1759 - 1788). His reign in both Spain and Naples was marked by honesty and integrity: qualities difficult to find on any throne during this time. In Spain, Carlos improved the lot of the poor, rebuilt roads and fought hard won battles against criminals. On his death, he was succeeded by his son, Carlos IV; one of the weakest and the most ineffectual kings in Spanish history.
	In relation to the arts, Carlos III was responsible for bringing outstanding Italian painters to his court at Madrid, such as Mengs and Tiepolo. He also established high standards for Spanish art and in his court one rose to become Spain’s greatest: Francisco Goya.
