EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving showcases Emilio Arrieta (1823-1894), a prominent Spanish composer of the 19th century. The image, created in 1878, captures Arrieta in the prime of his career, with a distinguished goatee and wearing stylish spectacles. Arrieta was a versatile artist who excelled in various genres, including opera, zarzuela, and chamber music. Arrieta's connection to the prestigious institution, La Academia, is evident in this portrait. The Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, a renowned institution in Spain, recognized Arrieta's contributions to the arts and awarded him the title of Academician in 1867. This accolade solidified his place in Spanish cultural history. The engraving, titled 'Emilio Arrieta,' was produced during a significant period in Arrieta's career. In the late 1800s, he gained international recognition for his operas, which were performed in major European cities such as Paris, Vienna, and London. His most famous works include 'La Revoltosa' and 'La Cigarra,' which continue to be popular in Spanish-speaking countries today. Juan Corera Pascual, a skilled engraver, was responsible for creating this striking portrait of Arrieta. Corera Pascual's meticulous attention to detail and vibrant use of color bring Arrieta's image to life, offering a glimpse into the composer's personality and artistic achievements. This engraving is an essential addition to any collection focusing on Spanish cultural history or the history of music, providing a captivating visual representation of a significant figure in the world of Spanish opera and zarzuela.
