Hotspur🏳️🌈🇺🇦<p>"The Old Faun," Santiago Rusiñol, 1911.</p><p>Rusiñol (1861-1931) was a leader of the Catalan "Modernisme" movement, which pushed for a unique artistic voice for Spain's Catalonia region. He was also a poet, journalist, and playwright.</p><p>Born into a textile manufacturing family, he married young but abandoned his family and children to study art, a rift that lasted over a decade. His family generously took him back in so he could cope with a morphine addiction, and then later became a mainstay of Barcelona's art world.</p><p>This is one of many paintings he did of beautiful scenery in Spain. This, for instance, is of the royal gardens in the town of Aranjuez, at the time a neglected community. Now it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.</p><p>From the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid.</p><p><a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SpanishArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SpanishArt</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/SantiagoRusinol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SantiagoRusinol</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Aranjuez" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Aranjuez</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Garden</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Parterre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Parterre</span></a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Modernisme" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Modernisme</span></a></p>
