Satire on Romantic Suicide

Hi, class--this was sent to me by Facundo--if you click on the link below, you can magnify the image to see more details!

“Here is a painting by a Spanish artist of the Romantic period named Leonardo Alenza y Nieto (1807-1845) called ‘Sátira del Suicidio Romántico’ or ‘Satire on Romantic Suicide’ (painted ca.1839). I thought it would be a nice thing to share in class.”

Thanks, Facundo!
