EDITORS COMMENTS
This pencil drawing, titled "Delio, the Horse of General Prim. Notes from the War of Africa (Hispano-Moroccan War), 1860," is a masterpiece by the renowned Spanish Romantic artist, Mariano Fortuny Marsal (1838-1874). The drawing, measuring 31.5x21cm, was created during the height of the Romantic era in Spain, specifically in the region of Catalonia, in the cities of Tarragona and Reus, at the Salvador Vilaseca Regional Museum. The drawing depicts Delio, the horse of General Prim, a prominent figure during the Hispano-Moroccan War of 1860. The war was a significant event in Spanish history, marking Spain's attempt to assert its control over Morocco and protect its interests in North Africa. The image captures the raw energy and intensity of the conflict, with Delio, the horse, portrayed in mid-gallop, its muscles tensed and veins bulging, reflecting the determination and courage of the Spanish army. The drawing is a testament to Fortuny Marsal's exceptional artistic skills and his ability to capture the essence of the moment. The use of pencil allows for intricate details, from the horse's mane and tail to the folds of the General's uniform. The drawing also provides a glimpse into the militaristic culture of the time, with soldiers and armies playing a central role in shaping the political landscape of Europe and beyond. Fortuny Marsal was a contemporary of other prominent Spanish artists, such as Joan Prats i Gallissas (1814-1870), who also captured the spirit of the era through their art. Together, they contributed to the rich artistic heritage of Spain and continue to inspire artists and art lovers around the world.
