JOSE MONTENEGRO CAPELL (Cadiz, 1865 - Jerez de la Frontera, Cadiz, 1929). "View of the Giralda from the courtyard of the orange trees", 1890. Oil on canvas. It has a frame of the nineteenth century with faults. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 72.5 x 51 cm; 98.5 x 77 cm (frame). Jose Montenegro was born in Cadiz, being a mystery his formation, the contacts maintained with other artists or the exact year in which he arrived to Jerez. His life is surrounded by a halo of legend, and in fact the people have invented a thousand stories around his figure, considering him a new Velázquez. He focused his production on the Andalusian costumbrista landscape, with special attention to the Hispano-Muslim architectures, taking his models mainly from Cadiz, Jerez and Seville. His style shows a certain influence of the so-called School of Rome, although with a marked regionalist accent. Montenegro arrived in Jerez attracted by the work possibilities that were open to him in a prosperous place full of bourgeoisie enriched by the wine trade. However, he would soon become a true exponent of local bohemia at the beginning of the 20th century. Eternally drunk and dressed in black, he sold paintings at very low prices in order to buy alcohol and some food. He finally died in the Santa Isabel Hospital in Cadiz in 1929, due to a liver problem. Montenegro is currently represented in numerous private collections, mainly in Jerez de la Frontera, where he is still highly appreciated today. It has a 19th century frame with faults.

ENRIQUE RUMOROSO VALDÉS (Cádiz, around 1878-1895). "Still lifes". Oil on panel (x2). With period frames. Signed and located (Madrid) in the lower right area. Measurements: 50 x 29 cm (x2); 69 x 49 cm (frames, x2). 19th century Cadiz painter specialising in genre painting. His work is little known. However, Enrique Rumoroso y Valdés was one of the Cadiz artists who travelled the most during the 19th century, reaching cities such as Cádiz, Seville, Madrid and Paris, among many others. In his genre paintings he usually portrayed the atmosphere of the fairs and bullfighting scenes, always populated by popular types. In his pictorial technique we can appreciate a great mastery in the painting of still lifes of fruit, as is the case here, landscapes and portraits. Rumoroso was noted for his marked realism when depicting fruit. His short, vibrant brushstrokes and extremely precise drawing give his still lifes a naturalistic character, as can be seen in this pair of oil paintings. His way of presenting the grapes is very characteristic, as is his use of other larger round fruits such as peaches, apricots, figs or apples. The background in complete darkness contrasts with a light that extends over the main scene from the upper left corner, and allows the forms to stand out to give them greater emphasis and realism.
