English: In 1881 Ernst Josephson travelled to Spain accompanied by the painters Anders Zorn, Hugo Birger and Christian Skredsvig. Their aim was to see the works of the great Spanish masters in the museums and to depict Spanish peasant life. Ernst Josephson’s Spanish Smiths was painted in Triana, the area of Seville dominated by the Romani. The artist has himself described how the smiths asked if he could portray them standing outside their smithy. A later version of the work can be seen in the National Gallery in Oslo. Ernst Josephson reste 1881 till Spanien i sällskap med målarna Anders Zorn, Hugo Birger och Christian Skredvig. Målet var att se de stora spanska mästarnas konst på museerna och att skildra det spanska folklivet. Ernst Josephsons Spanska smeder tillkom i den av romer dominerade stadsdelen Triana i Sevilla. Konstnären har själv berättat hur smederna frågat honom om han inte kunde porträttera dem stående utanför smedjan. En senare version av målningen finns i Nasjonalgalleriet i Oslo.
