Attributed to ANTONIO MARÍA ESQUIVEL SUAREZ DE URBINA (Seville, 1806 - Madrid, 1857). "Saint Ursula. Oil on canvas. With illegible inscription on the back. Measurements: 93.5 x 73 cm; 103 x 84 cm (frame). This canvas shows Saint Ursula dressed as a maiden. According to medieval legend, a young girl named Ursula converted to Christianity promising to keep her virginity. As she was sought after by a Breton prince, she decided to make a pilgrimage to Rome and thus achieve the consecration of her vows. In Rome, she was received by Pope Siricius who blessed her and consecrated her vows of perpetual virginity to dedicate herself to the preaching of the Gospel of Christ. When she returned to Germany, she was surprised in Cologne by the attack of the Huns, in 451. Attila, king of this people, fell in love with her but the young woman resisted and, together with other maidens who refused to surrender to the sexual appetites of the barbarians, she was martyred. Due to its formal characteristics, this work can be attributed to Antonio Maria Esquivel, a Spanish painter and theorist appointed as Pintor de Cámara during the reign of Isabel II, who was recognized for his romantic style. Despite coming from a noble family, with the death of his father they find themselves in a precarious and difficult situation. However, his mother encouraged him to continue his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Seville, where he became familiar with the painting of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1618-1682). These studies were paralyzed by the invasion of the Hundred Thousand Sons of St. Louis, a military conflict that caused him to enlist in the liberal ranks to defend the square of Cadiz. In 1831 he resumed his studies and in 1831, as a pensioner in Madrid, he entered the general competition of the Academy, which named him an academician of merit. During his stay in the Spanish capital, he participated assiduously in the Artistic and Literary Lyceum, where he received anatomy classes. He also participated in the exhibitions of the Academy in 1835, 1837 and 1838.
