Description

Spanish school; end of the XVII century. "Hunter". Oil on board glued to the frame. Measurements: 31.5 x 22 cm; 49 x 41 cm (frame). In this panel the author shows us a scene that seems to be taken from everyday life, a costumbrista scene, but that nevertheless keeps a deeper allegorical meaning. Starring a young hunter holding a rabbit, the protagonist portrayed in the foreground directs his gaze towards a point located on the outside of the composition, with an absent gesture, so that the author focuses much of his attention on capturing the psychology of the character. It is a genre in which popular types and attitudes, behaviors, values and habits common to a specific group of the population, region or class are described through the description, satirical, nostalgic or narrative, of the environments, customs, clothing, parties and entertainment, traditions, trades and representative types of a society. The idea of costumbrismo arose from an attempt to understand reality, or more precisely, reality understood in a particular way, from a specific point of view.
