Bourgeois portraiture in the art collection of Region of Murcia

Abstract

Through the analysis of three bourgeois portraits we’ll study the main characteristics of this typology, linked to a new social class that grew during the 19th century due to a good economic position won from business. Although this kind of works are close to official portraits, as they are realistic and detailed as well, the two works from the 19th century show a more private typology where naturalness, the lack of symbolic elements and the treatment of clothes and accessories are very important to show the new social position of the family. Despite of this, in the 20th century we observe an important change on the bourgeois portraiture now linked to concepts as avant-garde and modernity that permit freedom to experiment new brushstrokes while likeness goes to the background in the works.
