Sobre una gran extensión de playa una barca pesquera con los mástiles erguidos y las velas replegadas descansa en la arena. Alrededor de ella cinco figuras diminutas de pescadores. A la izquierda montículo rocoso que cae en declive en el mar. Gran porción de cielo con nubes muy movidas (Texto extractado de: Gutiérrez Márquez, A.; Carlos de Haes en el Museo del Prado 1826-1898, Madrid: Museo Nacion
La obra corresponde al primer periodo pictórico de Théo Van Rysselberghe, en el que los pintores que más admiraba constituían su guía para la realización de sus obras. Entre ellos se encontraban su profesor Portaels, los hermanos Stevens, el veterano Gillaume Vogels cofundador del círculo de Los XX y sobre todo el pintor americano James Abbott Mc-Neil Whistler, al cual había conocido en 1884 con m
These are instantaneous sketches taken directly from nature, here on the coast, in the French countryside, and in the mountains of Picos de Europa. Haes was a moving force in the transformation of landscape painting, bringing a completely new concept of the interpretation of Nature, with a realism that was sensitive to all elements. In all his landscapes, Haes very exactly captures the physical as
The painting, which is now in the collection of Museo Nacional del Prado and on long-term loan to the City Council of Cádiz, is signed “Luna = Paris 1888”. It was completed by the time Luna moved to Paris, after winning a First Class medal for Spoliarium in 1884. It was commissioned by the Overseas Ministry and would be exhibited in the Barcelona Universal Exposition. The figure of Spain we
This work shows politician, poet, playwright and tutor to Queen Elizabeth II, Manuel José Quntana (Madrid, April 11, 1772- Madrid, March 11, 1857) on the day of his coronation in the Senate as Illustrious Poet (March 25, 1855).
From an early age, Domingo displayed considerable skill as a portraitist. In this self-portrait, he is seated in profile, standing out against a dark background. In contrast to the intimate, introspective nature of most self-portraits, here the artist clearly had a larger public in mind; this is evident in the format and the clothing, and also in the emphasis on the tools of the painter’s professi
This is one of Meifrén’s views of Paris, where he spent various periods from the late 1870s onwards. It depicts a café on the Place de Clichy near Montmartre. It predates the depictions of such subjects by other Catalan artists including Santiago Rusiñol and Ramón Casas, while the truncated, angled position of the table in the foreground reveals the influence of the rec
A view of the profile of the Villerville mansion from the beach. The short, impasto and vibrant brushtrokes emphasize the sensation of a fleeting moment that Haes seems to have wanted to capture with this landscape. The highlights that illuminate the ocean mist contrast with the dark range of colors on the horizon and the rocks in the foreground. The drawing, Villerville (D05285), in the Prado Mus
A la izquierda, sobre un montículo, matorrales y un poste en primer término. Detrás, restos de una empalizada que baja hasta el mar. En el centro y sobre la arena, restos de troncos arrastrados por la marea. Una franja de mar y una gran porción de cielo muy cubierto de nubes turbulentas (Texto extractado de: Gutiérrez Márquez, A.; Carlos de Haes en el Museo del Prado 1826-1898, Madrid: Museo Nacio
Double portraits of this type, which were common in the mid-nineteenth century, were generally painted when the son or daughter was presented in society. The mother, depicted as seated, represented an example to the daughter, normally shown standing. In this case the richly furnished room and the sitter`s clothes and jewels indicate the wealthy status of this well-known family of bankers.

A landscape of the barren plains of Aragon, where the absence of vegetation makes rock the protagonist and the element used to build the painting. From the boulders in the foreground to the mountains in the background, the landscape is based on a panoramic and monumental sense, with a sober composition far from any artifice. The work is an example of this artist´s capacity in the genre of landscap
Jiménez Aranda spent the 1880s in France where he encountered the naturalistic style of Jules Bastien-Lepage (1848-1884), and a subsequent period in Madrid where his work influenced Joaquín Sorolla. This canvas was painted after his move to Seville in 1893. Its restrained delicacy reveals attentive, first-hand observation expressed through careful draughtsmanship and a markedly preci
During his time in Paris, Jiménez Aranda regularly produced tableautins (small, precisely painted works on eighteenth-century themes). The detailed description of the figures here contrasts with a freer approach to the background trees, revealing the artist’s powers as a landscape painter and the influence of French naturalism, which would determine his subsequent evolution.
Sobre la arena pedregosa, restos de seis postes de una empalizada. Al fondo, a la derecha, un montículo con cuatro construcciones y en el declive que se adentra en el mar, un embarcadero. Sobre el mar y en la lejanía, a la izquierda un barco a vapor dejando una estela de humo sobre un cielo muy cubierto de nubes. Al fondo a la derecha, se vislumbra un perfil costero. Haes recoge este mismo paisaje
This canvas and its companion, Taste, Hearing and Touch (P1404), represent the five senses embodied by female figures in palatial interiors. The sense of smell is conveyed by a woman holding flowers, while Sight contemplates herself in a mirror held by a cherub. They are located in a hall filled with paintings and sculptures, a sort of cabinet of paintings that could reflect an idealized represent
The dinner guests occupying the center of the composition symbolize the senses. Music and the singing children are hearing, and the young woman petting a mink is touch. The young woman preparing to eat some oysters symbolizes taste, while the monkey pulling on a cupid´s hair also symbolizes touch. Of equal significance are the animals and paintings in the room. The Annunciation on the top of the c
