Description
Attributed to EUGENIO LUCAS VELÁZQUEZ (Madrid, 1817 - 1870).
"Dogs".
Oil on canvas, re-coloured.
Size: 61 x 54 cm; 80,5 x 73,5 cm (frame).
The type of loose brushstroke and the use of a chromatic range defined by dark tones that awaken with the presence of red, were frequent characteristics in the painting of Eugenio Lucas Velázquez. In this particular case the image shows two small dogs, which are set behind a still life in the foreground. The presence of these animals has been a constant feature of art, although normally associated with hunting painting, in this case they are shown in a sober, dignified manner that follows the aesthetic lines of portraiture of the human figure.
Eugenio Lucas was the Spanish Romantic artist who best understood Goya's art. Trained in the neoclassicism of the San Fernando Academy, he soon turned his training around and devoted himself to studying Velázquez and, above all, Goya, whose works he admired and copied in the Prado Museum. On the basis of the master, Lucas developed a personal and imaginative style of painting, with fantastic visions and unleashed passions. Apart from his Goyaesque themes, in 1850 he painted the ceiling of the Teatro Real in Madrid, which has now disappeared, and was later appointed honorary chamber painter and knight of the order of Charles III by Queen Isabella II. As a true Romantic, he made several trips, including stays in Italy, Morocco and Paris. He achieved great success as a genre painter and as a painter of fantastic and sinister scenes, although he was also an excellent landscape painter and portraitist. His work is well represented in the Prado Museum, and also in other centres such as the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, the National Art Museum of Catalonia, the Lázaro Galdiano Museum, the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum in New York and the Goya Museum in Castres (France).
