Biography of Raimundo de Madrazo y GarretaSpanish Academic Classical artistborn 1841 - died 1920 Student of: Léon
Cogniet (1794-1880). |
||||||
(Geboren: Rome, 24 June 1841; Gestorben: Versailles, 15 Sept 1920). Son of (2) Federico de Madrazo y Kuntz. Because of his ability and training with his father, Federico, in the Real Academia de S Fernando in Madrid and with Leon Cogniet in Paris, Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta seemed destined to continue the family tradition of academic painting. |
However, due to the influence of the Belgian Alfred Stevens, of his brother-in-law, Mariano Jose Bernardo Fortuny y Marsal, and the Parisian environment, Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta exchanged dry historical painting (e.g. Arrival in Spain of the Body of the Apostle St James, 1858, and Ataulfo, 1860) for the preciousness of the tableautin, the small, intimate genre painting. Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta lived in Paris and New York and became so remote from Spanish artistic life that Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta and Fortuny y Marsal were the only Spanish artists not to participate in any national exhibition, and because of this the Spanish state never directly acquired their works. In 1882, with Giuseppe De Nittis, Stevens and the gallery owner Georges Petit, Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta co-founded the Exposition Internationale de Peinture, designed to promote foreign artists in Paris. |

Madrazo Garretas most characteristic paintings are the female portrait and the witty and elegant genre painting, with soft, delicate tones and suggestive poses. |

The influence of the Rococo and of Japanese art is reflected in his painting, which expresses an exquisite aristocratic or bourgeois ideal, the illusion of a refined, sensual and superficial life. Consequently, his works are also described as representing the Parisian seraglio. American collectors paid high prices for his paintings, for example Alexander Turney Stewart bought Lady with a Parrot; Carnival Festival (1878) was purchased by L. Wolfe; and Girls at the Window (1875) was bought by J. W. Vanderbilt, the last two now being in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. His portraits were better received in Spain (e.g. the Duquesa de Alba, 1881; Madrid, Pal. Liria, Col. Casa Alba), although because of collectors such as Ramon de Errazu (Gestorben: 1909), the Museo del Prado has a good number of his paintings (e.g. After the Bath). | ||||||
