LITERATURE
Visita con el cardenal combines the two most salient characteristics of Sánchez-Barbudo's work: the search for novelty of theme and narrative content, and the use of minutely detailed brushwork and luminosity. Sánchez-Barbudo specialised in elaborate 'costume pictures', delighting the viewer with impressive details finely rendered with dazzling technical virtuosity.
Here, Sánchez-Barbudo depicts a well-to-do bourgeois family receiving a cardinal in their home. The interior, sumptuously furnished in the rococo style, along with the rich costumes and fabrics, are beautifully observed. Yet beyond the high technique lavished upon the composition, the treatment is comic and full of character and suffused with a gently satirising anti-clericalism.
The cardinal, far from getting the attention he expects, is, literally, sidelined, his expression and body language showing his pique. There is no doubt that contemporary collectors and spectators took pleasure in the sight of noble self-respecting figureheads of the church being brought back down to earth. The comedy was appealing, and the message suited the prevailing political mood of an increasingly secular middle-class buying public.
Salvador Sánchez Barbudo was born on March 14, 1857 in Jerez de la Frontera (Cádiz). He was one of the most important Spanish artists of the "casacón" genre, who followed the Fortuny tradition in Rome. During his childhood he was under the protection of the Marquis del Castillo and in 1875 he moved to Seville where he attended the School of Fine Arts, becoming a disciple of José Villegas.
He visited Rome with Villegas in 1882, settling in the Eternal City. In 1884 he sent the monumental canvas titled Hamlet to Spain. Last scene, with which he won a second medal at the National Exhibition of the same year. Practically all of Sánchez Barbudo's work consists of tableautins and anecdotal genre scenes that were very successful among the bourgeoisie of the time. He was extremely prolific and his works flooded the European and American markets. His canvases show extraordinary technical skill in their precise and summary brushwork, and a strong decorative sense. In a very personal way he combined Fortuny's "precious" heritage with a meticulous and vibrant technique that blurs forms.
Sánchez Barbudo was also an excellent watercolorist and engraver, as well as a portraitist of highly talented types. He died in Rome on November 28, 1917.

Attributed by Erik Ludvig Henningsen (1855 - 1930) was a Danish painter and illustrator. Masterly painted genre scene “testing grandfather’s pipe” depicting lively domestic moment. The little prankster wants to be like his grandfather, but how can he not try his grandfather’s pipe, which he loves so much and does not let go of even in his sleep.

The boy's faithful friend, a small dog, looks at all this with interest and curiosity.
