Est: €1,500 - €2,000
MARIANO FORTUNY MARSAL (Reus, Tarragona, 1838 - Rome, 1874). "Seated Roman knight". Ink on paper. Presents drawing on the back in ink and graphite. Signed. Measurements: 11 x 9 cm. In this work, that Fortuny's privileged gifts for the drawing of the author are appreciated. Thematically, Fortuny conjugates the contrapposto and with certain Greco-Roman inspiration when presenting a seated toga knight. It is probable that this work served as a preparatory sketch for a larger painting. Fortuny began his training at the Municipal Art School of Reus, and in 1850 he moved to Barcelona with his grandfather. There he continued his studies as a disciple of Domingo Talarn, and entered the School of Fine Arts, where he had as teachers Pablo Milá, Claudio Lorenzale and Luis Rigalt. At the same time he attends Lorenzale's private school, which will determine his inclination for romantic painting in this first stage. In 1858 he settles in Rome thanks to a scholarship, and attends the Chigi Academy. While he was there, the Diputación de Barcelona proposed him to travel to Morocco to paint the warlike encounters that were taking place in the area, which will give a total turn to his career. The light of Morocco and the exoticism of the place and its people lead him to become interested in aspects totally unknown in his previous production. In 1860 he visited Madrid, where he visited the Prado Museum and became interested in the works of Velázquez and Goya. Shortly after, he began a trip through Europe, and finally returned to Rome for good. He attends classes at the French Academy of Fine Arts at the Villa Medici, and in 1861 he visits Florence and comes into contact with the "macchiaioli". He returns to Morocco in 1862, and devotes himself to painting genre subjects in which he captures the movement through color and light. Back in Rome, he continued to focus on orientalist themes. Shortly after he travels to Paris and meets Adolphe Goupil, who will be his dealer from 1866. That same year he visits Madrid again and visits Toledo, where he discovers El Greco. In 1867 he exhibited in the studio of Federico de Madrazo, who became his father-in-law that same year. The following year he returned to Rome, and in 1870 he consolidated his international fame thanks to his exhibition in the Parisian gallery of Goupil. In these years he settled in Granada, in the Fonda de los Siete Suelos de la Alhambra, with the idea of tackling new themes with the greater freedom that commercial and critical success gave him. However, in 1872 he was forced to return to Rome, where he remained until his death. Mariano Fortuny is represented in the Prado Museum, the National Gallery in London, the Hispanic Society Museum in New York, the Palazzo Ruspoli in Rome, the Fine Arts Museums of Bilbao, San Francisco, Cincinnati and Boston and the National Art Museum of Catalonia, among many others.

MARIANO FORTUNY MARSAL (Reus, Tarragona, 1838 – Roma, 1874). "Contadina in abito de festa". Rome, 1867. Watercolour on paper Signed, located and dated in the upper right corner. Attached certificate of authenticity issued by Carlos González. Auctioned at Sotheby's, lot 174, 2007. Measurements: 17 x 12 cm; 38 x 33.5 cm (frame). With a virtuoso mastery of the watercolour technique, Fortuny captures the subtle qualities of the costume and headdress of this Italian peasant girl in her festive attire. The face, with its soft features, conveys a melancholy that contrasts with the festive nature of the folk costume. Fortuny began his training at the municipal art school in Reus and moved to Barcelona with his grandfather in 1850. There he continued his studies as a disciple of Domingo Talarn and enrolled at the School of Fine Arts, where his teachers were Pablo Milá, Claudio Lorenzale and Luis Rigalt. At the same time he attended Lorenzale's public school, which determined his inclination towards Romantic painting at this early stage. In 1867 he exhibited in the studio of Federico de Madrazo, who became his father-in-law that same year. The following year he returned to Rome, and in 1870 his international fame was consolidated thanks to his exhibition at the Paris gallery of Goupil.

MARIANO FORTUNY MARSAL (Reus, Tarragona, 1838 – Roma, 1874). "The Donkey and his Owner". Watercolour and pencil on paper Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 14 x 19 cm; 35 x 41 cm (frame). A man in a fur coat, whose face we cannot see, appears to be feeding or watering a donkey, from whose neck hangs a rattle. Fortuny, with his characteristic swift and agile execution, develops a unique ability to synthesise the elements of the genre scene, extracting the essential. In doing so, he elevates it to a timeless status, eternalising the beauty of a banal gesture, of any everyday situation. Fortuny began his training at the municipal art school in Reus and moved to Barcelona with his grandfather in 1850. There he continued his studies as a disciple of Domingo Talarn and enrolled at the School of Fine Arts, where his teachers were Pablo Milá, Claudio Lorenzale and Luis Rigalt.

MARIANO FORTUNY Y MARSAL Reus (1838) / Rome (1874) "Landscape with a "buttero" watching over his flock in a trough, washerwomen and ruins in the background", c.1861-1866
Est: €18,000 - €24,000
Pencil and watercolor on paper Signed in the upper right corner. The cataloging sheet made by Santiago Alcolea Blanch signed in Barcelona on May 16, 2021 is attached. The shepherd on horseback of herds of Maremmano cows is called "buttero", characteristic for its wide horns, typical of the Italian regions of Tuscany and Lazio. This typicality attracted Fortuny and many other 19th century painters, both Italian and foreign, who represented them in their works. Fortuny executed this watercolor quickly and spontaneously, with the confidence of a mature painter, although his execution would have to be dated, as Santiago Alcolea indicates in his study, around 1861 – 1866, mainly due to its chromaticism, similar to that of the Sketch of the Battle of Tetuán (oil on canvas, 58 x 235 cm, Barcelona private collection). It is worth noting the existence of a later version of this work, also in watercolor, preserved in the Reus Museum (MR-000007, 46.5 x 35 cm) in a vertical format, where the herd of cows is eliminated and more prominence is given to the washerwomen, one of which, in the version presented here, was eliminated by Fortuny himself with a light glaze.

Size: 28 x 21 cm (print); 39 x 30 cm (paper); 46 x 38 cm (frame). Fortuny began his training at the Municipal Art School of Reus, and in 1850 he moved to Barcelona with his grandfather. There he continued his studies as a disciple of Domingo Talarn, and entered the School of Fine Arts, where his teachers were Pablo Milá, Claudio Lorenzale and Luis Rigalt. At the same time he attended Lorenzale's public school, which determined his inclination towards Romantic painting at this early stage. In 1858 he settled in Rome thanks to a scholarship, and attended the Accademia Chigi. While there, the Diputació de Barcelona invited him to travel to Morocco to paint the warlike encounters that were taking place in the area, which was to be a turning point in his career. The light of Morocco and the exoticism of the place and its people led him to take an interest in aspects totally unknown in his previous production. In 1860 he visited Madrid, where he visited the Prado Museum and became interested in the work of Velázquez and Goya. Shortly afterwards he began a trip around Europe and finally returned to Rome for good. He attended classes at the French Academy of Fine Arts at the Villa Medici, and in 1861 he visited Florence and came into contact with the "macchiaioli". He returned to Morocco in 1862 and devoted himself to painting genre scenes in which he captured movement through colour and light. Back in Rome, he continued to focus on Orientalist themes. Shortly afterwards he travelled to Paris and met Adolphe Goupil, who became his dealer in 1866. That same year he visited Madrid again and visited Toledo, where he discovered El Greco. In 1867 he exhibited in the studio of Federico de Madrazo, who became his father-in-law that same year. The following year he returned to Rome, and in 1870 his international fame was consolidated thanks to his exhibition at the Parisian gallery of Goupil. During these years he settled in Granada, in the Fonda de los Siete Suelos de la Alambra, with the idea of tackling new themes with the greater freedom that commercial and critical success gave him. However, in 1872 he was forced to return to Rome, where he remained until his death. Mariano Fortuny is represented in the Prado Museum, the National Gallery in London, the Hispanic Society Museum in New York, the Palazzo Ruspoli in Rome, the Fine Arts Museums of Bilbao, San Francisco, Cincinnati and Boston and the National Art Museum of Catalonia, among many others.

MARIANO FORTUNY MARSAL (Reus, Tarragona, 1838 - Rome, 1874). "La Serenata, La Ronda nocturna or Meo Petacca". Etching, aquatint and burnishing, state proof. Signed in plate. Size: 46 x 36 cm (print); 51 x 39 cm (paper); 68 x 57 cm (frame). "The Serenade" represents a nocturnal image starring street musicians typical of the Roman district of Trastevere. It is one of Fortuny's most elaborate engravings, as well as one of the most beautiful in its composition thanks to the contrast of the night and the light of the lantern. Fortuny began his training at the municipal art school in Reus, and in 1850 he moved to Barcelona with his grandfather. There he continued his studies as a disciple of Domingo Talarn and enrolled at the School of Fine Arts, where his teachers were Pablo Milá, Claudio Lorenzale and Luis Rigalt.
