Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience. They reach a greater audience than originals and act as a tonic against commodification. Original Artwork could also refer to the first work, which is always preceding all others. It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

Mariano Fortuny y Marsal, a Spanish painter born in Reus in 1838 and died in Rome in 1874.

Fortuny y Marsal is best known for his genre paintings, which depict scenes of daily life with great attention to detail and light. He was also a master of watercolour, and his works in this medium are highly sought after.

Fortuny y Marsal studied in Barcelona and Rome, where he was influenced by the works of masters of the Renaissance such as Titian and Veronese. He also traveled to North Africa and Spain, where he was inspired by the bright colors and exotic patterns of Moorish architecture.

His most famous work is " La Vicaría", a large scale painting of a wedding scene in a Spanish village. This work achieved great success when exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1870, and is now housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid.

Fortuny y Marsal was also a prolific inventor and pioneer of the photography. He created a machine to reproduce drawings and paintings in series, and he also invented a method to print color photographs.

Unfortunately, Fortuny y Marsal died prematurely at age 36 years old, leaving behind him a remarkable artistic heritage. His works are now held in public and private collections around the world and continue to inspire contemporary artists.
