EDITORS COMMENTS
Man Rolling" is a captivating etching on paper by the renowned Spanish artist Mariano Jose Maria Bernardo Fortuny y Carbo, created in the 19th century. This monochromatic masterpiece, held in the esteemed collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, invites viewers to ponder the enigmatic narrative unfolding before their eyes. The image depicts a solitary figure, a man, lying on a sheet, his bare chest exposed, with an expression of intense concentration or perhaps even distress on his face. His body twists and contorts in an otherworldly manner, as if he is being consumed by a nightmare or experiencing a profound physical or emotional transformation. The man's semi-dressed state adds to the sense of vulnerability and raw emotion conveyed in the artwork. The etching's composition and use of contrasting light and shadow create a striking visual effect, with the man's figure seemingly leaping off the page. The black and white medium lends an air of timelessness and classicism to the piece, while the intricate details and textures reveal the artist's masterful technique. Born in Reus, Spain, in 1832, Fortuny was a prolific artist known for his innovative approach to photography and etching. His work often explored the human condition, delving into themes of identity, emotion, and the passage of time. "Man Rolling" is a prime example of Fortuny's ability to capture the complexities of the human experience with both sensitivity and skill. This evocative artwork invites viewers to contemplate the mysteries of the human psyche and the power of art to evoke deep emotions. The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to preserve and showcase this important work as part of its extensive collection of heritage art.
