Abstract

The Royal Economic Society of Friends of the Country of Santiago has a portrait of the sculptor Juan Sanmartín y Serna, painted by José Alarcón in 1886. This portrait keeps parallelism, probably pretended, with the one of the sculptor Felipe de Castro, painted by Gregorio Ferro. In the case of Sanmartín`s portrait we can find references to his art through the image of his sculpture of Cervantes in prison, sculpture which he was going to present in the National Exhibition in 1887. Today, this picture can be seen in the first floor of the Geography and History School of the University of Santiago, in its oriental side, being part of a set of works of art placed there by the Royal Economic Society of Friends of the Country of Santiago.
