José Lupiáñez solves this composition with a great mastery in the drawing, of short and precise brushstroke, showing a palette rich in browns, especially reinforced by a great range of greens. As a student of Carlos de Haes, he shows us the perfection and meticulousness with which he executes the landscape, showing nature, intervened by man, in all its splendor.

José Lupiáñez began his artistic training at the San Telmo School of Fine Arts in Malaga. Later he traveled to Madrid, where he entered the Special School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving, where he had Carlos de Haes as his landscape teacher. He exhibited individually and collectively, and sent several works to the National Exhibitions of Fine Arts. He also participated in the Provincial of Cadiz in 1888, as well as in the International of Philadelphia in 1889, being awarded in both with Honorable Mention. There is evidence that, in 1884, he exhibited the canvas "Cercanías de Aranjuez" and, in 1910, the one entitled "Puerta de la huerta de los frailes". He was a painter of intelligent pasiajístico concept, that prolonged in the time the influence of Carlos de Haes, granting in his painting to the landscape a rare importance in the Spain of the time. He is represented in the Provincial Museum of Lugo, as well as in various national and international private collections.
