1920 Don Juan Ramón Jiménez by Bastida

This vintage postcard from the 1920s features a reproduction of Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida’s 1916 portrait of the celebrated Spanish poet Juan Ramón Jiménez. The original painting was commissioned during Jiménez’s visit to New York when he met Archer M Huntington, founder of The Hispanic Society of America. The portrait became part of the Society’s collection in the mid-1920s, symbolizing the cultural connection between Spain and the United States.

This postcard reflects the enduring appreciation for Spanish art and literature, offering collectors a glimpse into a significant moment that links two great figures in their respective fields. It captures the elegance of early twentieth-century portraiture and the dedication to preserving Hispanic heritage through art.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
