EDITORS COMMENTS
Mariano Fortuny Marsal's captivating drawing, "Camels. Notes from the War of Africa," transports us back to the 19th century and the Hispano-Moroccan War of 1860. This evocative pencil drawing, created by the Spanish Romantic artist, depicts a scene of camels laden with supplies, their humps casting long shadows on the arid African terrain. Fortuny Marsal, a native of Reus, Tarragona, in Catalonia, Spain, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects. The drawing is a testament to the importance of camels as a means of transportation in the war-torn region. The animals, with their patient and stoic expressions, are flanked by Moroccan servants, adding a human element to the scene. The intricate details of the camels' harnesses and the folds of their skin are rendered with remarkable precision, showcasing Fortuny Marsal's mastery of the medium. The drawing is a rare glimpse into the history of the Western world's interactions with Africa and its people during a time of colonial expansion. The Eumetazoa and Metazoa, a group of animals that includes both humans and camels, are depicted in their natural habitat, highlighting the interconnectedness of the world during this period. Fortuny Marsal's "Camels. Notes from the War of Africa" is a beautiful example of Romanticism in art, with its emphasis on emotion, imagination, and the beauty of nature. This drawing is now part of the collection of the Salvador Vilaseca Regional Museum in Reus, Spain, and serves as a reminder of the rich artistic and historical heritage of the region.
