About the piece
Painted in 1882 by Ernst Josephson, 'Spanish Blacksmiths' is a tour de force of late 19th-century realism. The work captures three figures with remarkable psychological depth and tactile presence, using a bold, impasto technique that emphasizes the grit and energy of the blacksmith shop in Seville. The warm light and earthy palette create a scene that is both grounded and strikingly vibrant.
