NotesJosé María Jardines, a native of Cádiz, studied at the School of Fine Arts in his hometown, and then at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid. His career as a painter developed in Paris for several years. He held exhibitions in the French capital, as well as in Cádiz and Madrid. In 1914 he returned to Cádiz, where he was a professor at the Academy of Fine Arts. Jardines appears in the National Contemporary Catalog and in One Hundred Years of Painting, among other bibliographical resources on art in the Iberian Peninsula. The Frick Art Reference Library (New York) has a collection of photographs and reproductions of his works. His son and disciple was the painter Antonio Jardines (Paris, 1898-).
