EL SIMBOLISMO EN LA PINTURA SEVILLANA (1880-1938)

Abstract

This article adopts a synthetic approach to the wide spectrum of Symbolism, as a movement or artistic trend of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and its influence on Sevillian pain­ting. It examines the most representative Sevillian painters of the period who cultivated the two forms, religious and profane painting: artists such as Jimenez Aranda. Mattoni de la Fuente, Gonzalo Bilbao and others. Ali of these painters display the same characteristic fantstic elements, with allegory forming an essential part, overlaid with striking nuances of subjetivism and decorativism.
