Additions to the Catalogue of the Sevillian Painter José María Romero

Abstract

In this study, twenty unpublished works are incorporated to the catalogue of the Sevillian painter José María Romero. Most of them are religious works – a mariological series and several devotional paintings – and are located in the ‘Casa Generalicia’ of the congregation ‘El Rebaño de María’ (Cádiz). Until now, only a very limited number of them was known. Finally, we bring to light an interesting and unknown example of the pictorial genre in which Romero was an authentic master – the portrait –, with a canvas depicting the Count of Ybarra that is preserved in a private collection of Málaga.
