Fortuny

Fortuny is a book written by Elbert Hubbard that explores the life and work of the Spanish artist Mariano Fortuny. Fortuny was a Renaissance man of sorts, excelling in a variety of fields, including painting, textile design, and photography. He was known for his innovative techniques and his ability to blend different artistic styles into his work. The book delves into Fortuny's upbringing in Spain and his early artistic training before moving on to his time in Paris, where he worked alongside other great artists of the time. Hubbard also explores Fortuny's time in Venice, where he developed his signature style of textile design and created his famous Delphos gown. Throughout the book, Hubbard provides insights into Fortuny's creative process and the influences that shaped his work. He also offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural landscape of Europe during Fortuny's lifetime. Overall, Fortuny is a fascinating exploration of the life and work of a truly unique artist. It is a must-read for anyone interested in art, design, or the cultural history of Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.THIS 32 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great: Eminent Painters, by Elbert Hubbard.
