The Snake Charmers, 1870
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting by Mariano Jose Maria Bernardo Fortuny y Carbo. This mesmerizing artwork can be found in the esteemed collection of the State A Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow. The painting transports us to India, where two skilled snake charmers captivate their audience with their enchanting performance. The men are dressed in traditional Indian attire, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of the country. With intense focus and expertise, they skillfully manipulate their serpentine companions, evoking a sense of awe and wonder. Surrounded by vibrant colors and intricate details, this masterpiece captures not only the artistry but also the entertainment aspect of snake charming as an ancient profession. As we observe this scene from Catalonia-born Fortuny's perspective, we witness a harmonious blend of Spanish artistic techniques with Indian subject matter. The onlookers are engrossed in this spectacle; some watch intently while others seem lost in thought or conversation. Amongst them stands a man holding a bird perched on his hand—a symbol perhaps representing freedom amidst such exotic allure. Fortuny's meticulous brushwork brings life to every element within this composition—the textures of fabric, feathers, scales—all rendered with remarkable precision. Through "The Snake Charmers" we glimpse into 19th-century Hindoostan (India), experiencing both its visual splendor and cultural diversity. This painting serves as an invaluable testament to Fortuny's talent
