ABSTRACT “Albeit democratic, their coat of arms has pride of place”. Thus Romualdo Nogués defined, in 1890, Spanish collectors of bourgeois origin who had joined the ranks of the aristocracy. A few years later, in 1924, the Duke of Alba’s maiden speech at the Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando justified his personal artistic worthiness on the basis of his ancestors’ collecting activities and the artworks they had amassed. These two examples set the scene for the research questions studied in this monographic issue. The present introduction offers a bird’s eye view of the phenomenon and continues with a few remarks about the House of Osuna which, as is well known, occupied a pivotal position in Spanish nobility during the whole of the second half of the nineteenth century.

西班牙贵族（19 世纪和 20 世纪初）收藏品和家庭中的记忆和品味：该主题的介绍，并附有关于 Osuna 之家和时代房间起源的一些注释

摘要 “尽管是民主的，但他们的国徽还是值得骄傲的”。因此，Romualdo Nogués 在 1890 年定义了加入贵族行列的资产阶级血统的西班牙收藏家。几年后，也就是 1924 年，阿尔巴公爵在圣费尔南多贝拉斯艺术学院的首次演讲基于他祖先的收藏活动和他们积累的艺术品证明了他的个人艺术价值。这两个例子为本期专题研究的研究问题奠定了基础。本介绍提供了对该现象的鸟瞰图，并继续对奥苏纳家族进行了一些评论，众所周知，该家族在整个 19 世纪下半叶期间在西班牙贵族中占据了举足轻重的地位。
