Abstract

Creators engaged in genre painting during the second half of the nineteenth century frequently drew inspiration from the pictorial schools of the past. This phenomenon gained special strength in Paris, where the masters of official painting recovered tendencies typical of Flemish, Dutch, and French painting of the 17th century and of the Rococo school of the 18th century, echoed in the work of Spanish painters living in the French capital. Throughout this article, we analyse the recovery of this art from past centuries in the production of various Aragonese artists living in Paris, whose trajectories have not yet been sufficiently investigated. To do this, we present several unpublished works of art made during his Parisian stages, which are perfectly inserted in this historicist taste of imitation of the painting of the past.
