Works
Works
• Illustration — Pedro de Répide by Tovar (1922) Pedro de Répide Gallegos's true passion was chronicling contemporary life in Madrid (see costumbrismo). He scarcely wrote of anything else, save one biography, Isabel II, reina de España (Isabel II, Queen of Spain), which in reality served as a pretext to describe the celebrations, ceremonies and rincones ("corners") of Madrid. Much of his work was first published in varied newspapers (such as La Libertad) and magazines.
