The Fugitive, Study for Timon of Athens Thomas Couture (French, 1815-1879). The Fugitive, Study for Timon of Athens, ca. 1857. Oil on canvas, 25 7/8 x 33 3/8 in. (65.7 x 84.8 cm). Within months of his arrival in Paris, Francisco Oller entered the studio of the popular painter Thomas Couture, who completed this study from life at about the same time. Couture taught the importance of drawing, anatomy, and classical proportions, the traditional European art-school curriculum dating back to Italian academies in the Renaissance. His painting style was a combination of the real and the ideal, and he trained students to reproduce the wonders of nature and ideas of our own time,” though never to the degree of Oller’s other great mentor in Paris, Gustave Courbet. Oller submitted two paintings to the 1865 Paris Salon exhibition as a pupil of Couture. Pocos meses después de su llegada a París, Francisco Oller ingresó al taller del popular pintor Thomas Couture, quien completó este estudio en vi

Doña María de los Dolores Gutiérrez del Mazo y Pérez José Campeche (Puerto Rican, 1751-1809). Doña María de los Dolores Gutiérrez del Mazo y Pérez, ca. 1796. Oil on canvas, 32 11/16 x 26 in. (83 x 66 cm). José Campeche, who was largely self-taught, was Puerto Ricos celebrated portrait and religious painter. His father was an enslaved Puerto Rican man of African heritage who purchased his freedom after working as a painter and gilder, and his mother was a white Spanish woman. Here, he depicted a Spanish-born member of Puerto Ricos colonial elite, wearing diamonds and a white muslin chemise dress—then at the height of European fashion. This portrait was made when the sitter was twenty-one, around the time of her marriage to Don Benito Pérez (their names are written on the folded letters on the desk), a fellow Spaniard who would later become viceroy of New Granada, in South America.
