Description
Summary:This study of the French drawings collection in the Museo Nacional del Prado has permitted the enrichment of historical knowledge about Isidoro Brun (1819-1898), painter, restorer, and founder of the huge collection of drawings in the Prado. This paper contributes new information on his training and work, both as restorer and artist, his official recognition and his long-living ties with well-known and outstanding collectors of his time such as Valentín Carderera. Furthermore, Brun was active in many art auctions held in Paris between 1870 and 1880 where he bought many French drawings with the help of middlemen. This research on the French drawings in the Prado has also provided the possibility for new attributions. This article presents a selection of some of these new contributions.
