Josep Nin I Tudó (1840-1908) - Portrait Of The Painter Carlos Luis De Ribera, Master Of The Artist

THIS SEPTEMBER ENJOY FREE DELIVERY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION* AT MONTBARON GALERIE - Oil on canvas. Josep Nin, the macabre portraitist of death in 19th-century Spain, specialized in painting corpses, creating effigies of those killed in combat, composing bishops' catafalques, and capturing the last incarnations of children who failed to survive childhood. In this portrait, he captures the humanity of his old teacher, one of the first Spanish Romantic artists to transcend 18th-century fashions, the painter Carlos Luis de Ribera. The relaxed pose that avoids stereotypes beyond the palette that denounce the painter's craft is typical of a painting where friendship and mutual respect are unconditional. This portrait is not only a great work of meta-painting, where the painter reflects in his painting another painter immersed in the exercise of painting, but a fundamental document for the history of art in 19th century Spain. - Dimensions of the image without frame: 90 x 75 cm / 110 x 95 cm with beautiful gilded wooden frame. - From a private collection in Madrid. - Good general condition.
