Hispagnolisme

Hispagnolisme (espagnolisme fr.) is the inordinate love of all things Spanish, a craze for which spread through French society, and much of the associated art world, in the 19th century.

Origins

Hispagnolisme first began to emerge in the 18th century, as seen in figures like Fragonard.[1] It received a powerful impetus from Napoleon's Spanish campaigns;[2] and took off fully in French society in and after the 1830s.[3]

Apex

Writers like Merimee, and musicians like Bizet,[4] profited from, and also helped foster, Hispagnolisme; as did such painters as Manet,[5] with his Spanish-derived masterpiece Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe.[6]

In Britain, hispagnolisme had an influence on artists such as Sargent.[7]

Hispagnolisme was still powerful enough in Paris at the close of the century for Pablo Picasso to finance his early stays there with pictures of bullfights and Spanish peasant themes.[8]
