A recently discovered portrait by Umberto Veruda, depicting the colleague Rafael Senet y Perez, open to an
unknown chapter about Seville painters in Venice at the end of XIX Century and their influence. Veruda, one
of the most important painter in the Trieste area at the time, is always linked to Munich or Paris, but his talent
tooks from different visual and mental sources, especially Velázquez. A certain number of painters from
Seville (birthplace of Velázquez) stayed in Venice hosted at Senet’ home in Campo San Vio when Veruda also
was there.
