Summary

For the classification of Neo-classicism in Alava, it is interesting to verify that the copying and imitation of sculptures and contemporary paintings from the Madrid school brought to the territory, was one of the means the style had to attain its breakthrough into popularity. The quality of those models also meant a certain improvement of the local artistic level. One of those copies allows us to know about a lost work by Vicente López. Around the end of the 18th century, baroque paintings imported in their times were also copied in the new Neo-classical style.
