Portrait of Ferdinand I is an oil on canvas painting by Anton Raphael Mengs, now in the National Museum of Capodimonte. It shows Ferdinand and was commissioned by his mother Maria Amalia of Saxony to celebrate Ferdinand's accession to the throne of the Two Sicilies aged only eight after his father Charles of Bourbon's abdicated that throne to be king of Spain. This makes it the first official painting of the new king, produced by the artist in October 1759 in around a month, though it was critiqued by the other court artists Luigi Vanvitelli, Giuseppe Bonito and Francesco Liani, who had been passed over for the commission. Mengs also produced a lower-quality second copy the following year which is now in the Prado Museum in Madrid.[1]Sources- http://cir.campania.beniculturali.it/museodicapodimonte/itinerari-tematici/galleria-di-immagini/OA900326 {{Dead link|date=October 2018}}
