Charles Yriarte (5 December 1832 in Paris – 10 April 1898 in Paris) was a French writer and draughtsman, although his family was originally from Spain.[1][2]
Life
He studied architecture in the École des Beaux-Arts and in 1856 became inspector of government buildings. Later, he joined the Spanish army as reporter for Le Monde Illustré during the Spanish campaign in Morocco. He travelled in Spain and Italy and became the magazine's editor after his return in 1862. In 1871, he quit his post to devote time to traveling, and his impressions were later used in his works. Some of his writings were published under the pseudonyms "Junior" and "Le Marquis de Villemer".[3]
On his work
In his work titled "Goya: sa biographie, les fresques, les toiles, les tapisseries, les eaux-fortes et le catalogue de l'oeuvre avec cinquante planches inédites d'après les copies de Tabar," Yriarte endeavored to offer a fresh interpretation of Francisco Goya's artworks during his lifetime, particularly focusing on 'Los Desastres' – Goya's etchings depicting the Franco-Spanish civil war. Yriarte challenged the prevailing notion that Goya's political canvases were mere depictions of 'facts' or specific events grounded in Verism. Instead, he contended that these works represented 'general ideas, analogies, sometimes true, always believable compositions' (Yriate apud Luxemburg 1998). Through Goya's deliberate placement of figures without heroic actions, immersed in a dream-like atmosphere of defeat, fear, and suffering, the painter skeptically conveyed a political perspective on life.[4]
