Lazarillo de Tormes and His Blind Master, before 1880. Creator: Théodule Ribot (French, 1823-1891) .

Lazarillo de Tormes and His Blind Master, before 1880. The subject of this painting comes from the 16th-century Spanish novel Lazarillo de Tormes . This tells the story of Lazarillo, a poor servant boy who worked for an impoverished blind man. Abused by his master, and never given enough to eat or drink, Lazarillo is forced to fend for himself. According to the story, he steals wine by drinking it from a straw directly from the blind man's jug. This painting relates to a cultural movement known as espagnolisme , the French interest in Spanish art and literature. Especially popular during the 1850s, espagnolisme focused upon realistic, often down-trodden characters such as Lazarillo. Instead of finding them naïve or foolishly humorous, artists such as Ribot related to their alienation from society and found inspiration in the detailed descriptions of their rough, lowly lifestyles.
