MANUEL GARCÍA Y RODRIGUEZ (Seville, 1863 - 1925). La carreta" ("The Cart"), 1901. Oil on canvas. With restorations. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 50 x 90 cm: 58 x 105 (frame). Manuel García y Rodríguez executes this work with a wide and doughy brushstroke, applying spots of colour. The treatment of the figures and the contrast between the shaded and sunny areas stand out. He uses a palette rich in polychromy, in which greens predominate in all their shades. García y Rodríguez began his training with José de la Vega Marrugal and then moved on to the Seville School of Fine Arts, where he was a pupil of Eduardo Cano and Manuel Wssel. At first he devoted himself to the figure, but certain circumstances, including the influence and fascination exerted by Marín Rico and Fortuny on young Sevillian artists and the commercial successes of Sánchez Perrier's first trips abroad, led him to turn his attention to landscape painting, which became practically his only subject from that time onwards. He regularly took part in the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, winning a third medal in 1887 for his work "Orillas del Guadalquivir" ("Shores of the Guadalquivir"). He also won second medals in 1890 for "La tarde" and in 1895 for "Tarde de otoño". He also took part in the Fine Arts Exhibitions in Seville from 1921 until his death. In 1888 he took part in the Universal Exhibition in Barcelona, and the following year in the Universal Exhibition in Paris. In 1891 his work "Entrance to an Orchard in Seville" was acquired by the Barcelona Museum at the 1st General Exhibition of Fine Arts; that same year the State of Prussia acquired his work "Seville" at the Berlin International Exhibition. During the following years he also showed his works at exhibitions in Chicago and Munich. Around 1893 he made a visit to Morocco, recently visited by other Sevillians such as Sánchez Perrier and Gonzalo Bilbao, where he returned in 1904. In 1889 he was appointed a member of the San Fernando Academy in Madrid, and between 1902 and 1903 he was an active member of the Fine Arts Centre of the Seville Athenaeum. He was an illustrator as well as a painter, and in this discipline he collaborated with the weekly magazine "Blanco y Negro" and also with "La Ilustración Artística". García y Rodríguez is currently represented in the Prado Museum (his work is on deposit at the Municipal Museum of Málaga), the National Museum of Havana, the Fine Arts Museum of Seville and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, among others.
