The genre of the portrait knew special peak in this period. In the 20th century, the portrait maintained an outstanding position within the Spanish artistic panorama, consolidating itself as a key genre for the exploration of the individual and collective identity in a context of deep social, political and cultural transformations. Far from being limited to the physical representation of the model, portraiture in this period became an expressive vehicle that allowed artists to reflect on the psychology of the subject, his environment and his time.
