MADRID .- Acknowledged as a leading genre painter and society portraitist of his day, throughout his career Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta (Rome, 1841-Versailles, 1920) both witnessed and reflected the tensions and paradoxes of modernity. Madrazo thus responded to the preferences of an upper-middle-class clientele that demanded portraits and genre scenes. The more than 100 works on display include several previously unexhibited paintings that were rediscovered during the research undertaken for the exhibition.
