Se va mi sombra: Exploring Illusion and Photography in the Romantic Era at Museo del Romanticismo

This exhibition features twenty historical photographs taken during the Romantic era, displayed within the rooms of the Museo del Romanticismo. The images offer a glimpse into life within 19th-century Isabeline interiors, showcasing activities such as social gatherings, masked balls, and games. Special viewers replicating those used at the time are included to highlight optical illusions and early photographic techniques.

Inspired by a poem from the Romantic writer Carolina Coronado, 'Se va mi sombra, pero yo me quedo: ilusión y fotografía en el Romanticismo' presents twenty historical photographs that capture the spirit of illusion and sensory deception prevalent in the Romantic period. These photographs are situated within the period rooms of the Museo del Romanticismo, specifically chosen to reflect how life was lived in the Isabeline interiors of the 19th century. Visitors can observe a range of activities that might have taken place in these historic spaces, such as social tertulias, masquerade balls, and various games, bringing to life the former palace's chambers including the antechamber, ballroom, bedroom, boudoir, and oratory. The exhibition further enhances the visitor experience by incorporating special visors that mimic those used during the era, allowing for an appreciation of the optical effects and visual tricks that were developed alongside the evolution of photography.
