The Sevillian painter Rodriguez de Losada felt a true admiration for the great masters of previous generations. One of them was Bartolome Esteban Murillo, whose fame continued to increase inside and outside Spain thanks to the Provincial School of Fine Arts and the extensive travel literature cultivated by the countless foreign visitors that nineteenth-century Seville received. In many of his works, Rodriguez de Losada tried to chronicle his life and his most famous works, one of the best examples being this imposing work titled Murillo copying the group of Santa Isabel by the model or that of Murillo after the fall in the church of Cappuccinos of Cadiz.
