EDITORS COMMENTS
This painting depicts a possible representation of the infamous bandit of Seville, Diego Corrientes Mateos (1757-1781). The Andalusian anonymous artist of the 19th century masterfully captured the romanticism of the bandit's legend in this vertical, upright painting. Diego Corrientes Mateos, also known as "El Quixote de la Sierra" or "The Man of La Mancha of the Sierra," was a notorious bandit who operated in the mountains surrounding Seville, Spain, during the late 18th century. The bandit is shown wearing a colorful, traditional Andalusian attire, complete with a wide-brimmed hat, a long, flowing coat, and a bandana covering his face. The painting is done in vibrant colors, capturing the daylight and sunlight that filters through the trees in the background, casting a warm glow over the bandit's rugged features. The portrait is a testament to the romanticized image of the bandit as a daring outlaw, a figure of rebellion and freedom, and a symbol of the Andalusian spirit. The painting is now on display at the Seville Museum of Popular Art and Customs, where it continues to captivate visitors with its rich history and intriguing story. The bandit of Seville remains an enduring symbol of Andalusian culture and the romanticism of the past, inspiring artists and storytellers for generations to come.
