About this title

Synopsis

Discurso En Elogio Del Excmo. Señor Duque De Rivas, Director Que Fue De La Real Academia De Nobles Artes De San Fernando: Leído En Junta Pública El 20 De Mayo De 1866" by José Amador De Los Ríos is a commemorative oration delivered in Madrid to honor the Duke of Rivas, a former director of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. The speech recounts the unusual sequence of events surrounding his leadership, the illness and death of Rivas, and the academy's deliberations to elect a successor, including the later choice of Federico de Madrazo. It celebrates Rivas as both painter and poet, praising his accomplishments in historical romances, portraits, and religious and allegorical works, and it reflects on the unity of art forms under the influence of patriotism. The orator discusses the nature of art, the ideal of beauty, and the challenges artists face in pursuing diverse talents, concluding with reverence for Rivas's dual crown as painter and poet and for his impact on Spanish culture and the Real Academia. The piece functions as a public testament to a beloved cultural leader and teacher.
