dia: attraction de los pintores por los Re
yes, cortesania, adulaci6n o pintura re-
hgiosa. Las grandes masas de pueblo,
las gentes que viven y dan su juventud

de Goya, sino modelos aislados es-
casos. Desde el Sc abre una nueva era:

al sol, buscan la publicidad. No est$n

tro sombrio de palacios grandes, con es-
tancias calladas y obscuras, los tenn
plos. Sc democratizan los cuadros. Per
sonas de buen gusto, que tienen fortu-

hace algo mas vivo, mas cercano a to-
dos. vienen, adensas, los peri6dicos illus
trados, que reproducen primero los gra.
