DESCRIPTION
Spanish school; c. 1850.
"Popular types".
Oil on canvas.
Presents faults.
Measurements: 38 x 41 cm; 36 x 49 cm (frame).
The painting of popular types in 19th century Spain became popular as part of a growing interest in reflecting the national identity through the representation of daily life and regional customs. This genre, linked to costumbrismo, captured the attention of both artists and an increasingly urban public sensitized to popular traditions.
The Industrial Revolution and the processes of social modernization generated in art a nostalgic and romantic look towards the popular classes, seen as the depositaries of a disappearing cultural authenticity. In addition, these representations offered a picturesque and accessible vision of Spanish diversity, which served to reinforce a feeling of national unity through regional diversity.
