Mariano Fortuny Marsal & Raimundo de Garreta Madrazo - Garden of Fortuny [c.1872], a photo by Gandalf's Gallery on Flickr.
In 1871, Fortuny settled in Granada, in a house at the foot of the Alhambra and there painted the garden surrounding his studio, full of vegetation and the atmosphere captured on a bright sunny summer afternoon. This picture appeared unfinished in Paris in 1875, at which time it was most likely bought by Ramon Errazu. Later, around 1877, Raimundo de Madrazo finished and signed the work, including the figure of his sister Cecilia, wife of Fortuny. This painting entered the Prado Museum as part of the legacy of Ramon de Errazu.
