José García y Ramos (Seville, 1852-ibídem, 1912) was a Spanish painter and illustrator.
He was a student of the Provincial School of Fine Arts of Seville from a young age, completing his training in the workshop of José Jiménez Aranda, with whom he traveled to Rome in 1872. In that city he made a living with small-format paintings with landscapes and Andalusian characters, having a great acceptance that type of works. In Rome he met Mariano Fortuny who greatly influenced his later work. In 1877 he visited Naples and Venice and in 1882 he returned to Spain after a stay in Paris. In Seville he was appointed professor at the School of Industrial Arts and academic at the Santa Isabel. He also worked as an illustrator in publications such as Artistic Illustration, Spanish and American Illustration, and Black and White.
All of the above indicates the existence of a transition stage in García Ramos' career, between that of his insistent presence in the illustrations of widely publicized publications - in which the genre of manners would take the genre to its highest level of quality - and the last of his life, characterized by a certain mood decay and well differentiated by the recurrent use of brown tones (1900-1912). Now it reflects a latent self-absorption and an outstanding pictorial technique, as if the artist only wanted to recreate himself in the embodiment of the models as an adequate excuse for the development, per se, of his painting. Precisely, when he undertook the execution of these canvases, he was the most pre-eminent painter of his time in Seville - a position that he gladly shared with his admired José Jiménez Aranda, something that proves his appointment as a permanent academic of the Real de Bellas Artes de Santa Isabel of Hungary from Seville in 1893, after having attracted the attention of the officers within the self-managed, artistically speaking, Free Academy of Fine Arts of Seville since its foundation in 1872.
Indeed, in the last decade of the nineteenth century, favorable circumstances arose for this position at the top of the Sevillian School of Painting by coinciding chronologically with the autumnal time of Eduardo Cano de la Peña, his own academic teacher, since the person who would inspire him formally, would be Jiménez Aranda. Cano was the artist who personified Seville's official status to a high degree during the previous twenty years, which correspond, in effect, to the stage in which García Ramos was trained and later tried his luck with the painting of casacón in Rome (1872-1875, 1877 -1880), Paris (1881) and other places in Spain, almost always following Jiménez Aranda. When García Ramos settled in Seville at the end of the century, his artistic consecration came as a consequence of the alternative that he proposed with the practice of costumbrista painting, a typology that disabled in the daily scene of the city of the Guadalquivir the two great international tendencies of his own. from previous decades: the History painting by Eduardo Cano and the Casacón painting by Jiménez Aranda, the latter recently renamed as Neo-Rococo painting. García Ramos' invitation was a new manners, far from the romantic and murillista that, between 1830 and 1870, approximately, the Domínguez Bécquer, the Cabral Bejarano or the Hispaletos displayed. His was, on the other hand, a realistic manners, which did not reproduce the image of Seville created by foreign travelers –and which only existed in their travel literature and in the painting that they commissioned on purpose–, but the daily and real that , with popular grace, it still occurred frequently and naturally in certain urban enclaves.
He died in 1912 in Seville.
