In 1882, thanks to the intervention of José Villegas, he moved to Rome as a boarder of merit. He won several awards, including a first medal at the National Fine Arts Competition in Madrid in 1887 and 1901, and a medal in 1904. Born into a cultured family with a passion for music and literature, he published "Curiosidades de Roma" and composed several zarzuelas. He also held a number of important positions during his career, including deputy director of the Prado Museum from 1890 to 1898, and member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Cadiz. Viniegra is known for his genre scenes and depictions of daily life in his native Andalusia. Here, he depicts a harvest scene in Jerez de la Frontera, a town famous for its sherry production. Under a relentless Andalusian sun, their faces cut by the shadows of their hats, the grape-pickers bustle about with solemnity. The hacienda in the distance and the team of grape-pickers in the foreground, two white horizontal lines that immobilize the composition and freeze time, virtuously capture the heat of late summer in southern Spain. The detailed depiction of the costumes, fully in keeping with the costumbrista movement, provides us with an invaluable testimony to rural life in Andalusia, as well as a romantic vision of its people.

JULIO MOISÉS FERNÁNDEZ DE VILASANTE (Tarragona, 1888 - Cantabria, 1968). "Female portrait", 1922. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. Presents on the back label of the 1923 exhibition at the Junta Municipal d'Exposicions d'Art. Measurements: 110 x 93 cm; 131 x 115 cm (frame). Julio Moisés Fernández de Villasante spent his childhood and adolescence in Galicia and Cadiz, city in whose School of Fine Arts he began his painting studies. There he won several prizes and received commissions such as the one to decorate its Gran Teatro. In 1912 he moved to Barcelona and in his first participation in a National Exhibition of Fine Arts he obtained a third medal. He repeated with a second and a first prize in the editions of 1915 and 1920. He was also awarded in the International Exhibitions of San Francisco (1915) and Panama (1916). His work would continue to be exhibited throughout his life, such as the various solo exhibitions that in the 1930s took him to Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. Settled in Madrid since 1920, he taught for several years after founding a Free Academy of Art in 1923. Students such as Salvador Dalí passed through it, while he was requested by the Royal House to portray H.M. King Alfonso XIII and Queen Victoria Eugenia. The theme of his work was, above all, genre painting and the female portrait, a mixture of costumbrismo and folklore in equal parts. Such was the Mujer con garrafa en la mano that he signed in 1945 to illustrate the UEE calendar and with which, following the iconographic tradition of the collection, he contributed his own vision of the ideal canons of feminine beauty. His talent was recognized with his appointment as director of the School of Fine Arts in 1946 and as an academician of the San Fernando School in Madrid in 1947.
