Description

Spanish school; 20th century. Untitled. Oil on board. It has slight damage on the pictorial layer. Presents illegible signature in the lower right corner. Measurements: 13 x 9,5 cm; 24 x 20 cm (frame). As in the rest of Europe, the portrait became in the 20th century the protagonist genre par excellence of Spanish painting, as a consequence of the new social structures that were implanted in the Western world throughout this century, embodying the maximum expression of the transformation of the taste and mentality of the new clientele, emerged between the nobility and the wealthy bourgeoisie, who would take the reins of history in this period. While official circles gave preponderance to other artistic genres, such as history painting, and the incipient collecting encouraged the profusion of costume paintings, portraiture monopolized the demand for painting destined for the more private sphere, as a reflection of the value of the individual in the new society. This genre embodies the permanent presence of the image of its protagonists, to be enjoyed in the intimacy of a studio, in the daily warmth of a family cabinet or presiding over the main rooms of the house. It has slight damages on the pictorial layer.
