Description
EUGENIO LUCAS VELAZQUEZ (Madrid, 1817-1870)
"Portrait of a young lady with a mantilla".
Oil on canvas signed.
Size: 67 x 53 cm; 78 x 63 cm (frame).
Lucas Velázquez is, without any doubt, the Spanish romantic artist who best understood Goya's art, becoming the most important and passionate follower of the Goyaesque universe after the death of the great Aragonese artist, whose essence he managed to assimilate to the extent of making difficult in some occasions the correct attribution of some little studied works. Mentioned since the 19th century as Eugenio Lucas Padilla or Eugenio Lucas the Elder and as a native of Alcalá de Henares, he was actually born in Madrid on 9 February 1817. He began his artistic training as a pupil at the San Fernando Academy, although, dissatisfied with the cold classicism of academic teaching, he preferred to study the great geniuses of Spanish painting directly and at the Prado Museum he copied Velázquez and, above all, Goya, whose work would definitively mark the style and creative personality of this artist. Lucas found in Goya's compositions an extraordinary vein in which to develop imaginative painting of unleashed passions, fantastic visions and scenes of intense drama in the most genuine Romantic spirit, chiefly scenes of the Inquisition, witchcraft, witchcraft, pilgrimages, manolas and bulls, all of which he learned from Goya and which constitute the most interesting core of his extremely prolific artistic career. In 1850 he also painted the ceiling of the Teatro Real in Madrid, which no longer exists, and later Queen Isabella II appointed him honorary chamber painter and knight of the order of Charles III.
Half-length female portrait on a neutral background. The lady, with her hair parted in the middle, wears a dark dress and long earrings. She holds a rose in her hands while looking directly at the viewer, thus involving him. The whiteness of the sitter's flesh tones stands out against the dark dress. Although this is a very simple portrait, without any ornamentation, the composition tends to be dynamic, thanks to the marked curved lines generated by the pose of the arm and the arrangement of the cloak covering the sitter.
