Top 10 paintings by Ignacio Zuloaga, through the gallery's eye
Woman in Andalusian Dress
A woman emerges from a swirl of deep blues and teals. She is captured from the waist up, her presence anchored by the heavy textures of her attire. An orange headpiece rests upon her hair, pinned with pink and white floral accents that catch the light. Her skin glows with warmth against the cool, atmospheric clouds that churn in the background. There is a stillness in her gaze, a poised…
Anita Ramírez, in black
Ignacio Zuloaga y Zabaleta painted Anita Ramírez, in black in 1916. The subject was a Spanish dancer and one of the artist's favorite models during this period. At the time of the work's creation, both the artist and Ramírez were living in Paris.
Julia Wainwright Robbins
In this 1923 oil on canvas, Ignacio Zuloaga captures Julia Wainwright Robbins as a solitary figure. She occupies the center of the frame, a single female presence held within a quiet, dark space. Her posture is formal, defined by an aristocratic poise that commands the stillness of the composition. She holds a closed fan, a small, rigid object that anchors her hands against the soft volume of her attire.
Mrs. Philip M. Lydig (Rita H. de Alba de Acosta)
This portrait of Mrs. Philip M. Lydig (Rita H. de Alba de Acosta) was painted by Ignacio Zuloaga in 1912. The subject, a stylish New York socialite, is captured with a sense of poise that reflects her standing in society. Her presence in the work is marked by a quiet, self-assured dignity.
