              Est: €18,000 - €20,000

              MARTÍN RICO ORTEGA (El Escorial, Madrid, 1833 - Venice, 1908). "Venetian Canal. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Size: 35 x 23 cm; 51,5 x 40 cm (frame). In this composition of vertical format, a Venetian canal welcomes the infinite chromatic shades that are conjugated in its vibrant surface. The reflections of the old manor houses and the shadows of the gondolas coincide in it, while it dialogues with a clear sky. Venetian views were one of Martín Rico's favourite themes. It shows a clear influence of approaches that emerged thanks to prominent pictorial avant-gardes such as Impressionism, particularly in the reflections of the water, and a certain reminiscence of Spanish Luminism. Now considered the initiator of modern Spanish landscape painting, Martín Rico began his artistic training with his brother, the engraver Bernardo Rico, with whom he collaborated in the studio of his uncle Calixto Ortega, working as an illustrator. He then studied at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid, where he was a pupil of Jenaro Pérez Villamil. At the Liceo in the capital he became friends with Fortuny, Rosales and Raimundo de Madrazo, and in 1854 he began a series of trips around Europe, which took him to France, Switzerland, England and Italy. In 1862 he was awarded a scholarship to continue his studies in Paris, where he had the opportunity to become acquainted with the work of Meissonier and Daubigny, in whose studio he began to work the following year. He was friends with some of the early Impressionists, such as Camille Pizarro, for example. After travelling around several cities painting and holding exhibitions, especially in Paris, in 1873 he visited Venice for the first time, a city that captivated him and where he would eventually live for the rest of his life, alternating stays in the French capital. His Venetian landscapes became a model for his pupils and copyists. His views of Toledo, Seville, Granada and Paris were also famous. After taking part in the National Exhibitions of the 1970s, he did not exhibit again in his native country except at the Bosch Galleries, whose owner the painter considered to be the only valid dealer in Spain. He was a member of the commission for the Paris Universal Exhibitions of 1878 and 1889 and of the jury for the Chicago Exhibition of 1893. Appointed artistic director of the publication "Ilustración Española y Americana", his numerous awards at the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1878 included a silver medal and the title of Knight of the Legion of Honour, as well as another silver medal at the 1889 edition. He also took part in the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts in Madrid, where he was awarded a third medal in 1860. His work enjoyed great commercial success in Paris, where his clients included the American multimillionaire William Ibod Stewart, who owned several of his paintings in his collection. Throughout his oeuvre we can see an evolution from his initial Romantic vision, through a Realist stage, to a final style with certain Impressionist and Fortunyian influences. The influence of Turner and Ruysdael led him to paint increasingly humanised landscapes, and his relationship with Mariano Fortuny deepened this change towards more luminous and impressionistic paintings. Martín Rico's work is currently in the Museo del Prado and the Museo de Arte Moderno in Madrid, the Metropolitan and Brooklyn museums and the Hispanic Society in New York, the Walters Art Gallery in Baltimore, the Bilbao and Valencia Museums of Fine Arts, among other collections.

              MARTÍN RICO ORTEGA (El Escorial, Madrid, 1833 - Venice, 1908). "View of Venice. Oil on panel. Signed in the lower right corner. Provenance: Sala Parés, acquired in 1945. Measures: 42 x 25 cm; 43,3 x 61 cm (frame). After touring several cities painting and holding exhibitions, in 1873 Martín Rico visited Venice for the first time, a city that captivated him and where he finally lived for the rest of his life, alternating with stays in Paris. His Venetian landscapes, in which he captured the brightness and the dazzling life of its streets, became a model for his disciples and copyists to follow. In the present work, the artist immortalizes a corner of the city of canals that is far from the bustle and the classic ducal buildings he was accustomed to depicting. Instead, he shows us a secluded scene starring a group of fishermen preparing to fish, along with families of peasants who stroll through the fish market engaged in their daily tasks. For this Martín Rico uses the technique close to Fortuny, Madrazo and Sorolla that made his work known worldwide already during his lifetime, and that allowed him to show in an exquisite way the beauty of his surroundings. Currently considered the initiator of modern Spanish landscape painting, Martín Rico began his artistic training with his brother, the engraver Bernardo Rico, with whom he collaborated in the workshop of his uncle Calixto Ortega, working as an illustrator. He then studied at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid, where he was a disciple of Jenaro Pérez Villamil. At the Liceo of the capital he befriended Fortuny, Rosales and Raimundo de Madrazo, and in 1854 he began a series of trips around Europe, which took him to France, Switzerland, England and Italy.

He was friends with some of the first impressionists, such as Camille Pizarro. After touring several cities painting and holding exhibitions, especially in Paris, in 1873 he visited Venice for the first time, portraying its streets on numerous occasions. His views of Toledo, Seville, Granada and Paris were also famous. After participating in the National Exhibitions of the seventies, he did not exhibit again in his native country except in the Bosch Galleries, whose owner the painter considered the only valid dealer in Spain. He was part of the commission of the Universal Exhibitions of Paris in 1878 and 1889, and of the jury at the Chicago Exhibition of 1893. Named artistic director of the publication "Ilustración Española y Americana", among his numerous awards he obtained at the Universal Exhibition of Paris in 1878: silver medal and the title of Knight of the Legion of Honor, as well as another silver medal in the 1889 edition. He also participated in the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts in Madrid, where he was awarded a third medal in 1860.
