EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Plate 3: A Group of Street Musicians, capturing the vibrant customs and pastimes of the Spanish people in the 19th century. This black and white etching by Francisco Lameyer Berenguer showcases a scene filled with music, talent, and destitution. In this image, we witness a group of buskers immersed in their craft on a bustling street. The musicians are seen passionately playing their stringed instruments - a fiddle and guitar - while surrounded by intrigued onlookers. Among them is a young child who seems captivated by the melodic tunes filling the air. The artist masterfully captures not only their musical prowess but also their poverty-stricken existence. This artwork serves as an evocative reminder of Spain's rich cultural heritage where street entertainers played an integral role in bringing joy to everyday life despite challenging circumstances. Through his intricate etching technique, Lameyer Berenguer transports us back to this era, allowing us to experience firsthand the sights and sounds that once echoed through these streets. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print stands as a testament to Francisco Lameyer Berenguer's skillful portrayal of human occupation amidst societal struggles. It invites viewers to reflect upon the resilience and creativity found within those who dedicate themselves to artistic expression even in times of hardship. "
