- About The Artist: José María Romero y López (1816 - 1894) was a Spanish romantic painter. He developed his artistic ability in Seville, Cádiz, Madrid and Málaga. He came to the world in Seville on May 12, 1816, being baptized on the 14th of the same month in the parish of Omnium Sanctorum as José María de Gracia. Her parents were Manuel Romero and Gertrudis López. He remained based in his hometown until 1835, at which time he became a parishioner of El Salvador until 1839. In 1838, he is registered as a member of the Real Sociedad Económica Sevillana de Amigos del País. It was in the public meeting of May 30 of that year when he was registered without having to pay any cash fee, since this was exchanged for painting that Romero made of The Coronation of the Drunkers by Bacchus of Velázquez. That same month Romero received a letter of appreciation and permission to label the sign in front of his workshop with the inscription awarded by the Economic Society as a result of the joinery work he had undertaken. In 1840 he began as an assistant professor of Drawing at the School of Fine Arts in Seville, where in 1848 he taught in the specialty of Trazos. He worked for the Duke of Montpensier, who had settled in the palace of San Telmo in 1849. Between 1850 and 1866 he was a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of St. Elizabeth of Hungary in Seville. In 1866 he moved to Cádiz, where he was also a member of the Royal Provincial Academy of Fine Arts between 1866 and 1875, year in which he probably returned to Seville. In 1879 he settled in Madrid, where he made several portraits. In 1889 he went to Malaga, where he worked as a professor of Color and Composition at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Telmo until 1893. He participated in several national exhibitions of Fine Arts and won awards in 1840, 1858, 1860, 1862 and 1879. No news or reference appears later in the press or other historical documents about Romero, although it was thought he could have died that year in Seville, or, conversely, in Cádiz by 1888.
