Explores the role of portraiture in the nineteenth century as a form of symbolic and social representation that merges art, technique, and identity construction. The author examines how both painted and photographic portraits were used to reflect social status, aspirations, and cultural values, while also creating idealized images that blur the line between truth and fiction. Through a historical and critical lens, Amézaga reveals the tension between realism and illusion, positioning portraiture as a site where personal authenticity and social conventions intertwine.
