Taste is cyclical. According to an old saying taste is generational as well: that which we like is what our grandparents liked not what our parents or our children would prefer. If this is true it provides a reason for nineteenth-century Spanish cosmopolitan painting's great popularity and admiration by its contemporary audience and for its subsequent falling out of favor in the next generation. It is said that the intelligent connoisseur will want to develop his power of discrimination and his sense of values. In the Humanities mere facts remain colorless without a proper evaluation whether it is an intellectual a moral or an aesthetic one. It has often been said that the standard of a civilization depends to a large degree on the power of discrimination by its leading individuals and in a democracy like ours of the average citizen. Happily for today's audience the talents of such artists as Mariano Fortuny y Marsal and Joaquin Sorolla are once again beginning to be appreciated. Value judgments must not be placed arbitrarily on the representations of a lost and perhaps old-fashioned society but must evolve from a simple reading of the works. Contemporary critics use such terms as breakthrough experiments or innovations in a series of new developments new tendencies and new directions frequently separating these trends from the succession of styles as well as the evolution and continuity of the art of earlier times. Nineteenth-century Spanish artists embraced the new cosmopolitanism of Parisian society enabling them to attract a larger more appreciative clientele but they were also greatly influenced by their native traditions and values openly admitting the influence of Spanish Old Masters like El Greco and Diego de Velazquez. Virtually unrecognized in Spain these artists developed a profound ambivalence toward their native country while achieving international acclaim and financial success elsewhere.
