The return of the tournament

1881. Oil on canvas.
On display elsewhere

An extraordinarily prolific painter who had a great artistic career producing works in different fields. Worth a mention among them are his genre scenes and historicist narrative recreations, his settings always demonstrating his absolute mastery of the different periods, especially the 16th century, with an archaeological rigour, of which this painting The Return of the Tournament is a very beautiful example.
