Art, and specifically painting, can represent scenes of protocol and ceremonial, its validity, for the student of these disciplines, will depend on whether what is represented is contemporary to its author or if it is only a representation of a legendary historical past. If the author witnessed these ceremonies or knew them first-hand, the scenes become a very valuable tool for the study of the history of protocol, which in this way passes from the printed letter to the graphic representation.
The work presented aims to review the protocol and ceremonial present in three court works by the painter Luis Paret y Alcázar (1746-1799): Royal Couples; Charles III dining before the Court and The Oath of Allegiance to Don Fernando as Prince of Asturias. Through the interpretation of the ceremonial reflected in the paintings and the review of the contemporary documentation in which these ceremonial acts are described, we will try to find out the fidelity they keep with reality and, therefore, their validity as a source for the scholar of protocol.
