About the Item

Mariano Sigüenza y Ortiz was a Spanish painter and engraver born in Valencia. This copper painter and engraver was a disciple of the Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos, in the early years of the 19th century. It is known that he came from a family dedicated to the art of silk making, so it is not surprising that he began his training at the Academy of San Carlos with the intention of applying his knowledge to this field. However, it seems that he opted for painting and later for intaglio engraving. Of his production as a painter, a copy of the painting La Virgen con el Niño y San Juan Bautista, the work of Mengs, and Los santos penitentes Pablo y Antonio, for which he obtained the 17 January 1836 a Supernumerary Academic position, for painting. Later, he devoted himself exclusively to the exercise of copper engraving. As an engraver, he illustrated the Biographical Dictionary, by Oliva, and the History of Spain, by Father Mariana. The engraving of El Niño Jesús, a copy of Murillo's painting, earned him the appointment as academic of merit, in the engraving class, of the Academy of San Carlos. From that moment on, he was linked as a teacher to the academic institution, of which he became director of the School of Engraving. According to Ossorio y Boix, deprived of this position, later, due to political problems, he dedicated himself to painting, to cover "his most urgent needs" by performing some devotional themes, until ruined and ill, "his reason was obscured", he died. at the Benevolent establishment in 1860, after spending the last years of his life begging from door to door.
