Ana Gertrudis de Urrutia Garchitorena (also known as Ana de Urrutia and Ana Gertrudis Urrutia de Urmeneta; 1812 – November 5, 1850) was a 19th-century Spanish painter who became an Academician of Merit at the Real Academia Provincial de Bellas Artes de Cádiz Royal Provincial Academy of Fine Arts of Cádiz, an appointment she received on December 9, 1846.[1][2] Alejandrina Gessler y Lacroix was her contemporary.[3]
Career
As a painter, she distinguished herself in the portraiture, historical, and religious genres,[6][3] in miniaturist[4] and romantic styles.[5][8]
Her compositions are well-structured, and display a style with Neoclassical roots, showing some influence from Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.[7]
She produced a considerable number of oil paintings that were publicly exhibited in Cádiz. Standing out among her body of work is San Gerónimo, a painting in the Dutch style, which the artist gifted to the Cádiz Cathedral; Santa Filomena y La resurrección de la carne; and an oil painting known as El Juicio, which was exhibited in Cádiz in 1846[2] and featured in that year's National Exhibition. Also worthy of mention are La estigmatización de San Francisco, also known as Visión de las llagas de San Francisco, executed in 1841 and housed in the Cathedral Museum of Cádiz; and Retrato de Don Joaquín Fonsdeviela, which she donated to the Academy in 1847 and which is on display at the Museum of Cádiz.[7][8]
