The Concert - Édouard Léon Garrido (Madrid, 1856-Caen, 1949) - French Romantic School of the 19th century Oil on canvas measuring 60 x 75 cm, measurements with period frame 90 x 100 cm. With display label on the back of the French School Hall. Provenance: important private Spanish collection, La Moraleja, Madrid. He studied Art at the Higher School of Painting in Madrid and as a disciple in the workshop of Vicente Palmaroli. Thanks to a scholarship granted by the Madrid Provincial Council, he traveled to Paris where he attended Raimundo Madrazo's workshop. Later he traveled to Italy, making contact in Venice with Spanish painters of the stature of Mariano Fortuny and Martín Rico. In 1905 he was appointed professor at the Varennes School of Arts and Crafts, remaining in France for the rest of his life. His son Louis-Édouard Garrido was also a painter. His style is influenced by Impressionism and for some critics it bears similarities to that of Manet. His work is mainly dedicated to traditional themes, portraits of elegant women dressed in Belle Époque clothing and the reproduction of gallant scenes. He achieved great success in his time and exhibited in Paris, London and Munich. Some of his canvases can be seen in the Prado Museum (Madrid), National Museum of Fine Arts (Argentina), Museum of Fine Arts in Bilbao and private collections such as the Bellver Collection in Seville.
