High quality art and the most internationally renowned of the 19th century – Mariano Fortuny – Drawings 📷 Málaga – Spain

<div class="text-justify"> --- >When I walk through the city streets and see the posters advertising a new exhibition at one of the major museums, and that advertising showcases such high-quality art, I don’t just think that I can’t miss it; I find myself lingering to look at the posters and take in their beauty. I travel back in time, as I always tell you, to my student days, and I remember the skill required to create this kind of art, to produce drawings of such detail. It is a skill acquired over time, and time is what is most valuable, which is why I admire these kinds of drawings and paintings so much. ---  --- That very poster that was on the streets of the city centre, above all, with that image of a human figure in a drawing of such artistic quality, was the same one that was on the billboard at the Thyssen Museum, a marvel I couldn’t wait to see. ---    --- It wasn’t an exhibition of paintings but of drawings, which is even more admirable, because nowadays very few people draw; instead, they paint directly onto the panel or canvas. Furthermore, drawing the human figure requires knowledge of proportions, body parts, musculature and, as I always say, the face, feet and hands are the most complicated parts to both draw and paint. ---  <center></center>    --- This exhibition ran from 6 February this year to 3 May, and I visited it roughly halfway through that period; I can tell you straight away that I left the gallery absolutely enchanted. There is always a room for temporary exhibitions, where works of the very highest quality, in both painting and drawing, are usually displayed, and it is the same room where Rembrandt’s works were once shown. --- <center>  </center> <center>  </center> <center>  </center> <center>  </center> <center></center> <center>![20260222_174338.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/avdesing/23zS3F7o4ASYmHxcGH8TsMXZBZARLMMUWnajkLGi4X16eiKH6WA […]
