    ANTONIO MUÑOZ DEGRAÍN (Valencia, 1840 - Málaga, 1924). Untitled. Watercolor on paper. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 60,5 x 105,5 cm. This work is a faithful reflection of Degraín's skill in atmospheric capture. The reflections of the leaden sky find their response in an arid land, with ochre tones that dominate the landscape. In the center, as part of the vanishing point, a race seems to move away from the viewer and follow its course. However, the work does not give prominence to the human figure, nor to its effects on the environment, since the author focuses his attention on the lyrical expression of the landscape itself. Antonio Muñoz Degraín began studying architecture in his youth by his father's decision, although he soon abandoned it for painting. A student at the Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia from the age of twelve, he was a disciple of the painter Rafael Montesinos, although his training was essentially self-taught. He took part assiduously in the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts from 1862 to 1915, being his successes in these contests the ones that would decisively mark his artistic career. In 1862 he was awarded an honorary medal, third in 1864 and second in 1867 and 1871. Called in 1870 to decorate the Cervantes Theater in Malaga, he settled in this Andalusian capital for good. There he married, and years later he was appointed supernumerary professor of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Telmo (1879). From the Academy, Muñoz Degraín was the teacher of a whole generation of artists, among them the very young Picasso, who would always show him his affection and respect. In 1881 the painter obtained a first medal at the National with "Othello and Desdemona" (Museu do Chiado, Lisbon), which gave him a government pension to finally make the desired trip to Rome, also visiting several cities in Tuscany and Venice. In Italy he painted his great masterpiece, "Los amantes de Teruel" (Museo del Prado), one of the capital pieces of Spanish painting of the 19th century, which the painter sent to the National Exhibition of Madrid in 1884, obtaining the first medal. From then on, his growing prestige brought him numerous honors and public rewards. He was named Knight of the orders of Isabella the Catholic, Charles III and Alfonso XII, received the medal of honor at the National Exhibition of 1910 and obtained in 1898, on the death of Carlos de Haes, the chair of landscape painting at the Academy of San Fernando in Madrid. He was appointed a member of that institution the following year, and director in 1901. He was also president of the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid. Muñoz Degraín also enjoyed notable success abroad, presenting his paintings to the Universal Exhibitions of Philadelphia (1876), Munich (1883) and Chicago (1893). He is currently represented in the Prado Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts of Valencia and others.

    ANTONIO MUÑOZ DEGRAÍN (Valencia, 1840 - Málaga, 1924). "The Styx Lagoon", 1899. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 85 x 130 cm; 123 x 169 cm (frame). We are in front of one of the themes where Muñoz Degraín's fantasy is very clear. Mythological, oriental type painting dated 1899. The Styx Lagoon, linked to the mythological hell, is linked to the river of the same name, whose source is on the Greek mountain of Zelmos. The Greek name of the Styx, "Styx", means horror, abomination, and it seems that its waters possessed a magical virtue and gave immortality, Achilles himself obtained his immortality when his mother, Thetis, bathed him in the waters mentioned, but the general idea, after Homedo, is that the waters of the Styx were a barrier that closed the way to the infernal regions. Muños Degraín reflects in this canvas all his fears of hell and the purification of sin; the waters of the Styx are in some way a prelude to the purifying waters of the River Jordan. The whole work maintains a great expressive force, especially in the brushstrokes where we can see very constructive characters. The bluish and dark tones, used in the mountain areas and the waters of the lagoon in which virtuoso touches of orange tones appear, stand out. Antonio Muñoz Degraín began studying architecture in his youth by his father's decision, although he soon abandoned it for painting. A student at the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts in Valencia from the age of twelve, he was a pupil of the painter Rafael Montesinos, although his training was essentially self-taught.

Both the colour and the theme of this work form a scene of great dramatism. Inscribed in a window a sorrowful woman, looks towards the sky with tears in her eyes. In the lower area, a man lies dead on the ground, with a knife beside him. Despite the fact that they are depicted on different planes, a loving relationship between the two can be sensed. This scene, in addition to the type of clothing worn by the figures, places the painting within the genre, although it is far removed from the idyllic character that depicts popular types in a friendly manner. In this particular case, the author seems to be making a social criticism of relationships between couples and social conventions, the consequences of which can lead to the death and pain of young people. Antonio Muñoz Degraín began studying architecture in his youth by his father's decision, although he soon abandoned it for painting. A student at the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts in Valencia from the age of twelve, he was a disciple of the painter Rafael Montesinos, although his training was essentially self-taught.

A student at the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts in Valencia from the age of twelve, he was a pupil of the painter Rafael Montesinos, although his training was essentially self-taught. An artist with a vehement and exalted character, traits that would literally translate into his paintings, he took part assiduously in the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts from 1862 to 1915, and it was his successes in these competitions that would have a decisive influence on his artistic career. In 1870 he was asked to decorate the Cervantes Theatre in Malaga and settled in the Andalusian capital for good.

At the Academy Muñoz Degraín taught a whole generation of artists, including the very young Picasso, who always showed him affection and respect. In 1881 the painter was awarded his first medal, which enabled him to study and visit Rome. Degraín's artistic career continued to grow thanks to the recognition he received throughout his life, including the chair of landscape painting at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid in 1898, the year in which this work of his full maturity is located, in which we can perceive a landscape halfway between reality and invention. It is an indeterminate scene in which greys and browns predominate, as Degraín, unlike the Impressionists, painted in the studio, completing the sketches he took from life. His landscape and historical paintings had been inspired by the landscapes described in literary novels, to which he added a highly personal symbolism and romanticism. Muñoz Degraín also enjoyed notable success abroad, submitting his paintings to the Universal Exhibitions of Philadelphia (1876), Munich (1883) and Chicago (1893). He is currently represented in the Museo del Prado and the Museo de Bellas Artes in Valencia, among others.
