Spanish School, late 18th century

'Spanish School, late 18th century' refers to anonymous or unidentified artists working within the Spanish artistic tradition during the final decades of the 1700s, a period marked by the influence of the Bourbon court and the twilight of Baroque sensibility giving way to Neoclassicism. Works attributed to this designation typically include religious paintings, portraiture, and genre scenes reflecting the cultural and ecclesiastical patronage prevalent across Spain and its territories. The label is commonly used by auction houses when a work demonstrates clear Spanish stylistic characteristics but cannot be definitively assigned to a known master.
