Fortuny and His Circle

About the exhibition

The Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore presented Fortuny and His Circle in 1970. The exhibition considered Mariano Fortuny and artists in his circle through paintings and works on paper. The documented selection includes Mariano Fortuny’s The Rare Vase (1870; watercolor and opaque watercolor with selectively applied glaze over traces of charcoal (?) on paper) and Édouard de Beaumont’s Here is the Pleasure, Sirs, Here is the Pleasure (ca. 1860; watercolor and graphite heightened with gum on cream, moderately-thick, smooth wove paper). The identified works form a partial checklist. Exact opening and closing days and the remaining works require further catalogue research.
