"Bourgeoisie: A Glimpse into the World of Wealth and Leisure" Step back in time to the 19th century, where the bourgeoisie thrived amidst a changing society. Through iconic artworks like "La Grenouillere" by Pierre-Auguste Renoir and "Morning Ride along the Beach" by Anton Mauve, we catch a glimpse of their opulent lifestyle. In bustling Nice, France, "The Flower Market" showcases the bourgeoisie's love for beauty and indulgence. Meanwhile, Tranquillo Cremona's painting "High Life (A Piquant Conversation)" captures their lively social gatherings filled with wit and charm. Even historical figures like Duke of Choiseul left behind evidence of his lavish existence through works such as "The output of the Duke of Choiseul. " Tales like "Le Diable de Papefiguiere" further depict their extravagant tastes. Religious processions were not exempt from bourgeois influence either; Carpio's masterpiece "Procession of Saint Anthony in Madrid" reveals how they embraced art even during religious events. The inauguration of Apolo Theater on November 23, 1873, marked another grand occasion that attracted this elite class. Traveling back to late 18th-century Madrid brings us to la Cebada Square during its vibrant fair days. Here, between 1770-1780, people witnessed firsthand how wealth transformed ordinary spaces into extraordinary spectacles. Nature also played a role in bourgeois leisure activities. El Retiro Garden near Walls of Bronze Horse became an oasis for relaxation and strolls beside its large pond. Ramon Bayeu y Subias' depiction in "Paseo de las Delicias" transports us to this serene setting. Through these glimpses into history captured by talented artists across various mediums, we can appreciate how the bourgeoisie shaped society with their wealth and refined taste for culture.
