Description
Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo's artistic vision was deeply rooted in his fascination with light and color. This book explores the Venetian workspaces, clothing designs, stage lighting inventions, and paintings that reveal the unifying themes of revivalism, memory, magic, and secrecy that ran throughout his career. New archival discoveries, including unseen artworks and unpublished personal writings, shed new light on Fortuny's life and work. The book delves into the relationships between Fortuny and Proust, Wagnerian opera, and Italian fascism, as well as exploring how his object collection and library were used to inspire his innovative creations. Through a combination of historical context, visual analysis, and archival evidence, this publication provides a comprehensive understanding of Fortuny's artistic endeavors.
