• Lot Description
  JOSÉ ALCAZAR TEJEDOR (Madrid, 1850 - 1907). Untitled, 1880". Oil on canvas. It has slight restorations. Signed, dated and located in Rome. Measures: 161 x 121 cm. The car presents a scene of narrative character, starring a musketeer with tousled hair, more fashionable in the nineteenth century than in the early seventeenth century, dressed in the clothes of the time: red tights, doublet, and undershirt. This work belongs to the genre known as painting of casacones in Spain, works generally of small format starring elegant eighteenth-century characters, like "Il Contino" by Marià Fortuny, or by musketeers and other characters of baroque inspiration. These works are derived from the influence of Velázquez and his contemporaries, both in their setting and form, although we will generally find hedonistic and cheerful themes, far from the Baroque theme. A painter specialized in genre themes, José Alcázar Tejedor developed his training at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid, being a disciple of Federico de Madrazo. He later extended his studies in Paris thanks to a pension from the Diputación Provincial de Madrid. In the French capital he shared a studio with Luis Lafuente, and attended the workshop of Vicente Palmaroli. After returning to Spain, in 1883 he received a new pension from the Diputación, in this case to continue his training in Rome. He became known in the official competitions of the time, both national and provincial, and was awarded the second medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1887. In 1896 he sat the competitive examinations for a chair at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, and was finally appointed full professor in 1902. In 1907, shortly after his death, the Círculo de Bellas Artes dedicated a tribute exhibition to him. Alcázar Tejedor is currently represented in the Prado Museum, as well as in other public and private collections.
