Created in 1820, this painting emblematic resides at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. At the heart of the city that never sleeps, the work reveals itself as a reflection of the academicism of the time, an artistic movement that imbues this painting with unparalleled precision. Here, the artist Goya transports us to a Spain where light and shadow dance under the veils of time.
“Every face tells a story,” Goya is said to have remarked while painting this masterpiece. He remembered a sunny morning, where the bursts of light traversed the alleys of Madrid, illuminating the faces of fascinating characters. This moment of inspiration was etched into the painting, infusing vibrant life into Tiburcio Pérez y Cuervo, l’architecte.
The painting “Portrait de Tiburcio Pérez y Cuervo, l'architecte” by Francisco de Goya captures the imposing stature of the subject, a man of science and letters, against a sober and elegant background. In this composition, the architect's thoughtful gaze seems to resonate with the quest for architectural perfection that marked his time. The canvas invites us to a silent dialogue, revealing the very essence of his intellect and knowledge.
Established in the heart of Goya's career, this painting stands out for its mastery and boldness. It is positioned after “La Maja Desnuda” and before “The Executions of May 3rd,” reflecting the growing maturity of the master. In these works, we discover a Goya more aware of the torments of his time, while the portrait of Tiburcio shines with humanity.
This oil painting deploys a wealth of techniques: from delicate glazes to impastos, each layer of canvas reveals an emotional depth. Goya excels in the play of lights, where reflections outline the complex personality of the architect. The gesture of his brush evokes a harmonious dance, making every detail vibrant with an almost palpable presence.
The dark and rich hues of the painting intertwine to create an intimate atmosphere. The deep colors, such as midnight blue and warm brown, evoke a poetic melancholy. Each shade is carefully chosen, enriching the canvas with varied emotions: reflection, wisdom, and a hint of nostalgia.
This reproduction, meticulously hand-painted on museum-quality linen canvas, allows for the authenticity of the original painting to be rediscovered. Each step, manual sketch, application of successive layers takes about 40 hours, where the copyist painter, a worthy heir of Goya, brings the work to life through a blend of high-quality pigments. A protective anti-UV varnish ensures the longevity of the colors, making this painting not just a simple copy, but a living reinvention of this masterpiece.
Among the pigments used, Prussian blue and alizarin crimson bring brilliant luminosity to the canvas, while the delicate texture of the paint invites silent contemplation.
