Baile en máscara 1772

Luis Paret y Alcázar's 1772 painting, "Baile en máscara," depicts a lively masquerade ball. The painting features a grand ballroom with multiple levels of balconies, all filled with elegantly dressed figures. The scene is abuzz with activity, as masked individuals dance, socialize, and enjoy the festive atmosphere. Paret y Alcázar's masterful use of light and color creates a sense of movement and energy. This work is a testament to the artist's keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the essence of social gatherings in 18th-century Spain.
