Fortuny y Carbo, Mariano
Fortuny y Carbo, Mariano (or Mariano Fortuny y Marsal) (b Reus, 11 June 1838; d Rome, 21 Nov. 1874). Spanish painter, son-in-law of Federico de Madrazo. He worked mainly in Rome and enjoyed international success with anecdotal costume pieces, often set in the 18th century. They have something in common with the work of Meissonier but they are much livelier in colour and particularly brushwork. He made a fortune from his work but died aged only 36; the cause of death is uncertain, but it was possibly malaria. His son Mariano Fortuny y Madrazo (1871–1949) was a painter, sculptor, designer, photographer, and inventor.
