ALENZA Y NIETO, Leonardo
(b. 1807, Madrid, d. 1845, Madrid)

Satire on Romantic Suicide

1839
Oil on canvas, 36 x 28 cm
Museo Romántico, Madrid

Alenza y Nieto is often described as the last of the followers of Goya, in whose Caprichos and drawings he found inspiration for the genre scenes for which he became best known. His two canvases entitled Satire on Romantic Suicide (Museo Romántico, Madrid) are perhaps the most characteristic of his works.
