MANUEL GARCÍA RODRÍGUEZ (Seville, 1863 - 1925). "Convent of Capuchins of Sanlúcar de Barrameda", 1921. Oil on canvas. It has a frame from the early twentieth century. Signed, dated and located in the lower left area. Measurements: 70 x 111 cm; 87 x 131 cm (frame). Manuel García Rodríguez began his training in the Seminary of Seville, although shortly after he decided to dedicate himself to painting, starting in this art by the hand of José de la Vega Marrugal. Shortly after, he entered the School of Fine Arts, where he had Eduardo Cano and Manuel Wssel as teachers. Influenced by Sánchez Perrier, from 1885 he dedicated his work to landscape, a discipline in which he specialized, achieving multiple successes. He was awarded a third medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1897 and at the Regional Exhibition of Malaga; a bronze medal at the International Exhibition of Barcelona in 1888 and at the International Exhibition of Alicante in 1894; and a second medal at the National Exhibitions of 1890 and 1895 and at the International Exhibition of Barcelona. His works were in demand from Munich, Prague, Hamburg, Stockholm, London, St. Petersburg and especially South America, and in 1899 he was appointed corresponding member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando. From 1900 until his death he participated regularly in the Spring Exhibitions of Seville (except in 1907 and 1908) and in all the National Exhibitions (except 1917 and 1920). He was an active member of the Fine Arts Center between 1902 and 1903, and of the Monuments Commission in 1919.

FRANCESC SERRA CASTELLET (Barcelona, 1912 - Tossa, Girona, 1976). "Female nude". Oil on tablex. Presents sketch on the back. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 60 x 83 cm; 74 x 97 cm (frame). Painter and draftsman, Francesc Serra spent his youth in Granollers, Barcelona. Although he passed fleetingly through the School of La Lonja in Barcelona, he is basically a self-taught author. He had his first exhibition in 1932, at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, and participated in the Salones de Primavera between 1934 and 1936. In 1936 and 1937 he was a special guest of the Carnegie Institute of Pittsburgh, United States. He continued to hold individual exhibitions in Barcelona, mainly at the Sala Gaspar. A great admirer of Degas, he was especially influenced by his favorite theme, the feminine. Sporadically he also tackled other themes, such as the urban landscape, of which the series of Paris, presented in 1951, is worth mentioning. Likewise, with his portraits of the lead mine he approached the sensitive realism of Ingres. He won several awards, including the Sant Jordi of Barcelona (1953) and the first medals at the National Exhibitions of Madrid (1957) and Barcelona (1960). He collected several unpublished drawings under the title "Dibujos de Serra" (1973), with a prologue by Santos Torroella. Determined defender of realism in art and of traditional figuration against the avant-garde, he published the essay "La aventura del arte contemporáneo" (1953), with a prologue by Rafael Benet. He is represented in the Museums of Modern Art of Madrid and Barcelona and in the Museums of Fine Arts of l'Empordà and Sabadell.
