EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing, titled "Dello, horse of General Prim," is a stunning work by the renowned Spanish painter and printmaker, Mariano Fortuny (1838-1874). Created in 1860, this masterpiece is currently housed at the Salvador Vilaseca Regional Museum in Reus, Spain. The drawing depicts Dello, the horse of General Prim, who was a significant military figure during the Second Carlist War in Spain. The image captures the essence of Africa, with its raw and untamed beauty. The interior of a tent is the setting for this powerful composition, with Dello, a majestic horse, standing proudly. The horse's muscular form and detailed textures are brought to life through Fortuny's expert use of graphite and charcoal. The artist's skillful shading and attention to detail create an almost three-dimensional effect, making the horse appear lifelike. General Prim, whose real name was Prats y Samper, was a Catalan military leader who played a crucial role in the Carlist Wars. He is depicted in history as a brave and determined commander, and Dello was his trusted steed. The drawing captures the bond between the two, with Dello's calm and obedient demeanor reflecting the trust and respect between the horse and its rider. Fortuny's drawing is a testament to the artistic talent and historical significance of the 19th century in Spain. The image transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the daily life of a military camp in Africa during the Carlist Wars. The drawing is a valuable addition to the collection of the Salvador Vilaseca Regional Museum in Reus and is a must-see for anyone interested in Spanish history, art, or horses.
