Emilio Beauchy Cano

Emilio Beauchy Cano is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Emilio Beauchy Cano made photographs in late 19th-century Spain. In 1892 he recorded Madrid’s Gran Vía still under construction, its skeletal facades rising beside gas lamps and horse carts. His camera also captured Plaza de Oriente’s shadow play on the Royal Palace at midday. These street scenes freeze the city’s rapid change between 1881 and 1908. Tap any of the untitled photographs to see the light and stone preserved exactly as he framed them.
