Barcelona Bath Bather Bathers Bourgeois Bourgeoisie Catalan Catalonia Clift Summertime Sunny Swimsuit Umbrella Sunbath
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 19th-century engraving, titled 'Bath at the Beach, Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain,' transports us back in time to the sun-soaked shores of the Mediterranean Sea. The image, created by the skilled hand of artist Rico for The Spanish and American Illustration in 1890, captures a lively scene of bourgeois families enjoying a leisurely day at the beach. The sandy coastline is dotted with colorful umbrellas, providing shade for the bathers as they take a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear waters. A young woman in a fashionable swimsuit wades into the sea, while a child plays in the shallows with a bucket and spade. In the background, a crowd of women in elegant dresses and sun hats watch over the scene, their parasols creating a vibrant patchwork against the blue sky. The clifftop above the beach is adorned with luxurious villas, a testament to the affluence of the high society of the time. The engraving beautifully captures the essence of a summer holiday during the age of bourgeois leisure. The sunny day, the sparkling sea, and the picturesque scenery all combine to create a timeless image that continues to captivate us today. This historical artwork offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the simple pleasures of a day at the beach over a century ago.
