SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Julia Alcayde Montoya (1855–1939), born in Gijón and based in Madrid, devoted her painting principally to flowers, fruit and still lifes. After initial instruction from her brother, she worked with Manuel Ramírez Ibáñez and Sebastián Gessa. Participation in Spain’s national exhibitions brought several awards. Frutas, painted in 1911, received a second medal at the exhibition of 1912.
In this oil painting the fruit is arranged directly on the ground rather than on a table. The work entered public collections through the artist’s bequest, accepted in 1940. Owned by the Prado, it is deposited at the Museo de Bellas Artes de Asturias. Her Self-Portrait of 1903, a pastel on cardboard held by the Museo Casa Natal de Jovellanos, shows that her practice also encompassed the representation of the human figure.
