A body in the street 

Mariano Fortuny Marsal’s painting “A body in the street” is a stark portrayal of a figure lying in a dimly lit alleyway. The artist’s use of dark, muted colors and loose brushstrokes creates a sense of unease and mystery. The composition is dominated by the figure's form, which is obscured by shadows, hinting at a hidden narrative. While the scene lacks a clear focal point, it captures a moment of stillness and desolation, characteristic of Fortuny's artistic style, which often explored themes of urban life and the plight of the marginalized.
