Federico De Madrazo (1815-1894) - Portrait Of The Painter Miguel Miranda Y Rendón

- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. - Federico de Madrazo, established for much of the 19th century as the first of the Spanish painters, was not only the king's painter for much of his life, but also director of the Prado Museum and one of the leading axes of the artistic milieu. Son of a notable disciple of Jacques Louis David, implanter of neoclassicism in Spain, and father of Raimundo de Madrazo, perhaps the great artist of the fin de siècle in Spain and most intimate collaborator of Mariano Fortuny, his central role in the center of the great Spanish pictorial dynasty made him the great name in 19th-century painting. Highly appreciated by the Madrid elite as a portraitist, he nevertheless offered some portraits to personal friends, as is the case of this Miguel Miranda, famous painter of Cadiz recognized as a composer of historical scenes. The painting appears listed in the journals and diaries of the artist, who meticulously kept scrupulous accounts of all his production.
