'''''The Jester Barbarroja''''' (''El bufón Barbarroja'') is an oil on canvas portrait by [[Diego Velázquez]] of Cristóbal de Castañeda y Pernia, nicknamed Barbarroja in his role as a [[jester]] at the court of [[Philip IV of Spain]] from 1633 to 1649. The painting is now in the [[Museo del Prado]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.museodelprado.es/goya-en-el-prado/obras/ficha/goya/el-bufon-barbarroja/?tx_gbgonline_pi1%5Bgocollectionids%5D=25&tx_gbgonline_pi1%5Bgosort%5D=d|title=El bufón Barbarroja|work=Museo Nacional del Prado|accessdate=10 February 2015}}</ref> It was in the [[Palacio del Buen Retiro]] in [[Madrid]] in 1701, one of six portraits of court jesters in the Queen's quarters (two of which, ''The Jester Francesco de Ochoa'' and ''Cardenas the Toreador'', are missing). From 1816 to 1827 it was in the [[Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando]].<br />
<br />
The composition's subject also served [[Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand of Austria]], for whom he played Barbarroja ([[Hayreddin Barbarossa|Barbarossa]]) in comic plays. He was later banished from the court, to Seville, by the [[Gaspar de Guzmán, Count-Duke of Olivares|Duke of Olivares]] for a reply he gave the king when asked whether there were olives in the [[Province of Segovia|Segovian]] town of Valsaín - to this, the jester punningly replied "Sir, neither olives nor Olivares".<br />
