EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: Santander Wet Nurse, 1856 by Valeriano Dominguez Becquer Valeriano Dominguez Becquer's painting, Santander Wet Nurse, created in 1856, is a captivating representation of the traditional Pasiego woman from the region of Cantabria, Spain. This masterpiece is now housed in the Museum of Romanticism in Madrid. The painting portrays a young, Pasiego woman, dressed in traditional attire, cradling an infant in her arms. She wears a red headscarf, a characteristic accessory of the region, and a white blouse with a black bow. The woman's arms are open, suggesting the warmth and care she provides for the baby. The infant, dressed in contemporary clothing, gazes up at her with a contented expression. The painting is set against a backdrop of the open air, allowing the natural light to illuminate the scene. The woman's face is serene and expressive, showcasing her deep connection with the child in her care. The painting captures the essence of the Pasiego folklore and the importance of the wet nurse in Spanish society during the 19th century. Valeriano Dominguez Becquer, a Spanish painter born in 1833, masterfully captures the beauty and tenderness of this moment. His attention to detail, from the intricate patterns on the woman's clothing to the delicate folds of the baby's blanket, brings the scene to life. This painting is a testament to the rich history and cultural traditions of Spain during the Romantic era.
