EMILIO FERRER CABRERA (Cullera, Valencia, 1888 - 1962). "Maja madrileña", 1940 Oil on gilt panel. It has faults on the pictorial surface. Signed and dated in the lower right area. Measurements: 207 x 114 cm. This portrait is inscribed within the regionalism of romantic heritage developed in Spain, and especially in the Madrid school, during the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Thus, although the composition and the attention to psychological capture are typical of a portrait, the painter pays particular attention to the details of the clothing, which is typically regionalist. A painter specialising in Valencian genre scenes, Emilio Ferrer Cabrera also masterfully tackled landscape painting. He trained at the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts in Valencia, and completed his training by working with José Mongrell. In 1913 he was awarded a scholarship to further his studies in Paris and Rome. In the following years Ferrer exhibited his work in Valencia, Madrid and Barcelona, and in 1920 and 1922 he took part in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts. Between the end of 1927 and the beginning of 1928 he travelled to Buenos Aires, where he also exhibited his painting. He published his works in magazines of the time, such as "La Esfera", and in 1931 he held an important exhibition at the Societat Musical Santa Cecilia in Cullera, where several of his works were sold to British and American collectors. He also produced several editorial illustrations, such as those for the Spanish translations of the stories by the Catalan writer Caterina Albert i Paradís, under the pseudonym Víctor Català, published between 1928 and 1929. In 1935 he moved to Ceuta, where he took up a teaching post at the Hispano-Moroccan Institute, where he was surprised by the Civil War. He devoted himself first to portraiture and later to photography, although after the war he gradually returned to painting. In 1988, on the occasion of the centenary of his birth, several celebrations were dedicated to him in Cullera. He is currently represented in the Museum of Fine Arts in Valencia.

FERNANDO CARRERA (Alcoy, 1866-1937). "Landscape. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. It has some flaws in the golden frame. Measurements: 39 x 47 cm; 54 x 61 cm (frame). In this composition, the author offers a partial view of a leafy landscape framed by the whitewashed pilasters of a patio. The earthy colors in the shade of the covered veranda contrast with the emerald greens of the treetops and the lime green of the undergrowth. Flowering vines hang like a canopy from the roof. The meadow escapes into a bright blue spring sky. The human absence emphasizes the poetic charge of the landscape. Fernando Cabrera Cantó was a Spanish painter and sculptor. He began his artistic training at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia, where he was a disciple of the Alcoyano painter Lorenzo Casanova Ruiz, completed them in Madrid with Casto Plasencia and in Italy, a country to which he was able to travel thanks to a pension granted by the Provincial Council of Alicante. He collaborated with the architect Vicente Pascual Pastor in the decoration of the Casa del Pavo, one of the most outstanding works of modernism in Alcoy. In the back of this building he located his painting studio. In the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1890 he won the silver medal with a canvas entitled Orphans, and in the one held in 1906 he won the gold medal with the work Al abismo (To the abyss). His work is very influenced by the nineteenth century, mainly by the painters Mariano Fortuny, Ignacio Pinazo Camarlench and Eduardo Rosales, with modernist connections. His work is preserved in the Museum of Fine Arts in Valencia.
