MANET
Manet/Velázquez
In 1804, at the dawn of the French Empire, there were no more than a handful
of Spanish paintings in public collections in France. During the course of
the nineteenth century, however, French collectors and museums assembled substantial
holdings of works by such Spanish masters as Velázquez, El Greco, Zurbarán,
Murillo, and Goya. At the same time, French writers and artistsamong
them Delacroix, Géricault, Courbet, Millet, Bonnat, Degas, and, especially,
Manetcame to understand, appreciate, and even emulate Spanish painting
of the Golden Age.
This beautiful book features over 150 works by French and Spanish artists,
charting the development of this cultural influence and mapping a fascinating
shift in the paradigm of painting: from Idealism to Realism, from Italy to
Spain, from Renaissance to Baroque. Above all, it vividly demonstrates how
direct contact with Spanish painting fired the imagination of nineteenth-century
French artists and brought about the triumph of Realism in the 1860s, and
with it a foundation for modern art. American artists of the second half of
the nineteenth century often turned to Europe for training and inspiration.
Whistler, Cassatt, Eakins, Chase, and Sargent all traveled to Spain for firsthand
exposure to its artistic heritage and experienced the thrill of discovering
Spanish painting. Also included in this volume are works by American artists
that clearly reflect the pervasive influence of and taste for Spanish painting.
