Mariano Jose Maria Bernardo Fortuny (1838 - 1874)
Mariano Jose Maria Bernardo Fortuny was active/lived in Spain, Italy. Mariano Fortuny is known for portrait, figure, genre, history and religious painting and drawing.

Watercolour was one of the most characteristic modes of artistic expression in the 19th century. Although it was already used by Spanish painters of earlier generations, it reached its high point in Spain with the work of Mariano Fortuny (1838-1874). Fortuny's prominent position in the international art world of his day resulted in widespread imitation within Spain of all the aspects of this Catalan artist that had brought him fame, particularly his interest in technical experimentation.

While Fortuny used watercolour in the same way as many of his contemporaries, with the aim of capturing his impressions of landscapes and of deftly and rapidly conveying his ideas in an immediate manner, he is most noted for his richly pictorial works on paper in this technique, which reveal close parallels with his finest work on canvas. As a result, collectors and art dealers of the day considered Fortuny's watercolours as important as his most exquisitely painted and highly prized paintings.
