Abstract


An unpublished view by Mariano Ramón Sánchez (1740-1822) of the Arenal de San Lorenzo de Gijón (Asturias), in the collection of the Museo Casa Natal de Jovellanos (Gijón) is presented here. The painting, dating from 1796, is based on sketches made by the artist at the site in June 1793, and formed a pair with Campiña (probably of the outskirts of Gijón), now lost. In 1796 both paintings were given by the artist to Gaspar Melchor de Jovellanos (1744-1811), magistrate, politician and outstanding intellectual of the Spanish Enlightenment, known to be a collector and man of good taste. These views were inventoried in Jovellanos's house in 1826, thereby demonstrating that they never formed part of the series of landscapes by this artist in the royal collection.
