RICARDO MADRAZO (Madrid, 1852-1917). "The guardian of the harem". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 46 x 35 cm; 74.5 x 64 cm (frame). Ricardo de Madrazo was Federico's son and Raimundo's brother. He was formed in the School of Fine Arts of San Fernando, where he had as teachers, besides his own father, Joaquín Espalter and the sculptors Ricardo Bellver and Ponciano Ponzano. In 1866 he met Mariano Fortuny, who would become his brother-in-law and would have a powerful influence on his pictorial style. In 1868 he traveled with Fortuny to Rome, where he attended the Academia Chigi. In 1869 he settled in Paris, where he had the opportunity to visit the workshop of Jean-Louis-Ernest Meissonier. In Paris he also devoted himself to studying the great masters, whose works are preserved in the Louvre, copying numerous paintings. The Franco-Prussian War forced him to return to Spain between 1870 and 1872, and he settled in Granada with his sister and brother-in-law. The two painters took advantage of the occasion to paint a plein air in the Alhambra and the Albaicín. Many painters came to Fortuny's house, as if it were a free academy. From there they made a trip to Morocco in the company of José Tapiró and later went to Rome. The artist's life continued to be linked to that of his brother-in-law until the latter died unexpectedly in 1874 and he had to take charge of the study, cataloguing and auction of Fortuny's works, held at the Drouot Hotel in Paris. Afterwards, he spent some seasons in Tangier in company of Tapiró, and alternated his stays between Paris and Madrid, participating alternatively in the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts of both capitals. In 1885 he settled definitively in Madrid, traveling annually to Venice and Paris. From that year on, following the family tradition, he specialized in landscape and portrait painting. His Madrid studio was visited by Queen María Cristina, Archer Milton Huntington, Lázaro Galdiano, Durand-Ruel and William Howard Taft, who commissioned him to paint The Parnassus. His extensive knowledge of antiquity made him a valuable artistic advisor to important Spanish and American collectors.
