'''José Gabriel de Silva-Bazán y Waldstein''' (Madrid, 18 March 1782 - Madrid, 4 November 1839), 10th Marquis of Santa Cruz de Mudela, was a Spanish noble, Director of the [[Prado Museum]] between 1817 and 1820 and [[Mayordomo mayor]] between 1822 and 1823.
== Biography ==
He was a descendant of [[Álvaro de Bazán, 1st Marquis of Santa Cruz]], as eldest son of José Joaquín de Silva-Bazán (1734 - 1802), 9th Marquis of Santa Cruz de Mudela and his second Austrian wife Mariana de Waldstein (1763 - 1807).
He was a senator, a Knight in the Order of the Golden Fleece (1821), the Order of Calatrava and the Order of Carlos III.<br>
He was also Gentilhombre, [[Mayordomo mayor]] and [[Sumiller de Corps]] of [[Fernando VII of Spain|Ferdinand VII]], member of the Regency Council during the childhood of [[Isabella II of Spain]], Ambassador in París, special envoy to London for the wedding of William IV, and director of the [[Real Academia Española]].
In 1817, he became the first [[Director of the Prado Museum]]. Before the [[Peninsular War]], his father had already convinced King Charles IV not to burn the ''obscene'' paintings in the Royal collection, as was the wish of the previous King Charles III, but to store them in a private gallery.
After the War, under impulse of Queen [[Maria Isabel of Braganza]], the Museum was created with José Gabriel de Silva-Bazán as its first Director.
He was replaced as Director after the outbreak of the [[Trienio Liberal|Liberal Triennium]], but in the uncertain times following the death of King [[Ferdinand VII of Spain]], he collaborated with the new Director [[José Rafael de Silva Fernández de Híjar]] to keep the museum's collection together.
