     Spanish Romantic Panorama:  


     
         Romanticism is a complex period that show
    different features depending on the country where it F. Padilla Ortiz (1848-1921),
    is developped. In Spain Romanticism is Juana the Fool.
    afeeling rather than a thought. We have to consider the historical events on wich it is
    projected. Arrival of Napoleon troops in Peninsule will provoke Spanish Independence
    War: it is a typical romantic war.

         As Romantic movement begins, many spanish artists will cultivate the different
    aspects of this new cultural chapter. 
     
     

     genders: 

    1º.- Portrait: 
     
        One of the most outstanding authors in this gender
    was Federico de Madrazo (1815-1894). He is seen as one of
    the most important portraitists in spanish Romanticism as well as
    in the whole Europe. We can appreciate from his works a
    perfection in drawing and a psychological study of persons. His
    production is numerous: he painted hundreds of portraits. He was
    a chamber painter and, twice, a director of Prado Museum.
    Federico de Madrazo,
         Antonio Esquivel (1806-1857) was also an important Countess of Vilches, c.1853.
    portraitist, born in Seville. We can observe in his works an
    academic touch. He gave his creatures a sentimentalism
    according with romantic ideals.

    J.Pérez Villamil,
    Arrival of the Train to Gijon, 1852.

    2º.- Landscape: 
     
         Landscape is another typical gender in Romanticism. Nature is useful for painters
    to project freely their feelings and subjectivity.

         Before Romanticism, landscape appeared as a background for portraits or


    pictures on History, specially in Barroque. Objects without a didactic purpose were
    not considered as art. Now, in 19th century, landscape becomes a new gender as
    important as picture on History.

         One of the most important artists was Jenaro López de Villamil (1807-1854).


    He used for his landscapes a nervous and pasted touch of brush in order to get softer
    and more delicate atmospheres.

    Eugenio Lucas Villamil,


    Scene of Bulls,c.1890-1900.

     
    3º.- painting on Customs: 
     
         The so-called Romantic Art on Customs is representated by "brave vein"
    painters as Eugenio Lucas (1858-1918) and Leonardo Alenza (1807-1845).
    They take Goya as a master and keep a popular ambiance of brave girls, bandits,
    bullfightings, toreros, inquisitorial acts and sorcerers. 
     
    Their touch of brush looks like a sketch full of chromatic matter, pointing
    to Impressionism.

    Eduardo Rosales,
    Will of Isabel la Católica.
     
    4º.- Historical painting: 
     
         This gender was developped not only in Romanticism, but also
    in Barroque and Neoclassicism, as is shown in David matters. Canvas on History are
    usually of a big size. About the second half of 19th century the gender achieves a
    singular importance. That was due to competions organized by St. Fernando
    Academy and other National Exhibitions. Historical subjects are often a cause for
    winning a medal.
