F. Luis Mora was the son of the Spanish sculptor Domingo Mora. He spent his early childhood in South America and Spain, and made Spanish themes his foremost aesthetic concern. He was described as "an observer of the Spanish life and a dweller therein.” Along with contemporaries such as Robert Henri and William Merritt Chase, Mora made a significant contribution to the American pictorialization of Spain and its people.
Mora's family immigrated to the United States in 1880, and settled in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. They lived in New York for a short time before moving on the Boston in 1887. There Mora studied with Frank Benson and Edward Tarbell before returning to New York where he continued his training at the Art Students League. In 1895, he embarked on what would be the first of many trips to Spain, absorbing its distinctive culture and studying the works of Old Masters such as Diego Velasquez.
Our painting was executed during Mora's 1909 trip to Spain during which he and his wife visited Barcelona, Madrid, Seville, and spent five weeks in Granada. He painted the gardens at the Alhambra and the monastery of Cartuja in a high-keyed palette. Our painting was most likely executed in the gardens of Cartuja.
Mora’s work can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Academy of Design, New York; New York State Gallery, Albany; Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut; Boston Art Club; Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire; Newark Museum, New Jersey; Butler Institute of Art, Youngstown, Ohio; and the Fort Worth Art Association and Dallas Art Association, Texas.
