FEDERICO JIMÉNEZ Y FERNÁNDEZ (Madrid, 1841- 1931). "Hunting". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower left corner. Size: 47 x 28 cm; 76 x 55 cm (frame). Federico Jiménez Fernández studied at the Special School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving of San Fernando in Madrid, where he was a disciple of Carlos de Haes. He then went to Paris in order to further his training. He specialised in painting domestic animals and poultry, a genre that was little developed in Spain, of which "The Judgement of Paris" and "Two Dead Hares and a Partridge" (Museo del Prado) are good examples. He also cultivated portraiture, particularly that of "Don Agustín Argüelles" (Ateneo de Madrid). He participated assiduously in the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts, receiving honourable mentions in 1858 and 1860, a third medal in 1862 for a canvas entitled "Un cuadro con caza muerta" ("A painting with dead game"), and decorations in the editions of 1878 and 1895. He was also awarded a silver medal at the International Exhibition in Bayonne in 1864, and the art medal at the Vienna Exhibition in 1873. In recognition of his artistic merit, he was made a Commander of the Order of Charles III. Federico Jiménez Fernández is currently represented in the Prado Museum, the Municipal Museums of Játiva and Málaga, the Nelson Zúmel Collection of the Provincial Museum of Lugo, the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, the Ministries of Culture and Industry, the Spanish Embassies in London and Vienna, the City Council of La Coruña, the Museum of Zaragoza and the General Directorate of the Police in Madrid, as well as in various private collections.
