Naked Man with Spear - Mariano Fortuny Marsal Framed Canvas

Mariano Fortuny y Marsal (1838–1874) was Spain’s brightest comet of 19th-century painting, burning furiously before malaria snuffed him out at 36. Born in Reus and raised by his cabinet-maker grandfather, he carved wax figures before sketching his way into Barcelona’s art schools and then Rome’s grand academies.

A government commission hurled him into the Spanish-Moroccan War, where the spectacle of battle ignited his lifelong obsession with Orientalist fantasy. His dazzling brush—iridescent, Rococo-tinged yet already leaning toward Impressionism—captured both Morocco’s courts and Spain’s contradictions, from bullfighters’ funerals to bourgeois weddings.

Married into the illustrious Madrazo dynasty, Fortuny left behind not just unfinished canvases but a lineage: his son, Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo, revolutionized fashion and design.
