S. J. Ferris Collection
Gift of J. L. G. Ferris, 1927
Internationally renowned in his brief lifetime, Spanish painter Mariano Fortuny is little
known today. Ferris greatly admired his work and spent some time in Spain sketching
the subjects represented in the master's repertory. He etched several portraits of
Fortuny, as well as a number of his paintings.
