Carlos Morel The Dairy, The Lasso
Artista: Carlos Morel
Siglo XIX · Argentina
Colección: Carlos Morel
This complex composition by Carlos Morel, titled 'El tambo, El lazo', is a vivid testament to 19th-century Río de la Plata costumbrismo. The work presents multiple scenes capturing Argentine rural life, from interactions at a "tambo" or roadside inn to the dynamic field labors like lassoing. Its style, characteristic of early Romanticism, details everyday figures and actions, possibly conceived as an engraving to disseminate these representations of national identity.
