Sobre el cuadro

José Benlliure y Gil (1855-1937) was born near Valencia. His father, a local decorative painter, gave him his first artistic training before he studied under Francisco Domingo (1842-1920) at the Academia de San Carlos in Valencia. He went to Rome where he settled definitively and was entrusted there by the King Amedeo of Savoy with the portraits of his children. He became director of the Spanish Academy in Rome in 1903 until 1912 when he returned to Valencia. From Rome, he achieved considerable success within the European art market while his reputation was growing in Spain as well.

This painting is a good example of Benlliure's genre painting which belong to the category commonly called 'casacones'. It shows a group of soldiers, dressed in typical 17th-century fashion, gathered around a table in the courtyard of an old inn. This painting probably dates from 1890s, a period in which Benlliure produced a series of similar pictures and witnesses the renewed taste for the imagery of the Dutch Golden Age that took place in Spain at the end of the 19th century.
