José Vergara Gimeno (Valencia, 1726 - 1799), was the most outstanding Valencian painter of the second half of the XVIII century. With an enormous pictorial work, both fresco and easel, evolved from the Tardobarroco to Neoclassicism. He is the founder of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos in 1768. Despite its great popularity in Valencian lands, since its prolific work is present in a good part of its geography, certain artistic criticism has unfairly underestimated it attending to prejudices Merely subjective that also extend to a good part of the Valencian painting of the seven hundred. Fortunately, recent studies by Miguel Ángel Catalá Gorgues and especially by David Gimilio Sanz, who gave him a splendid monographic exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts in Valencia in 2005, have begun the recovery of this painter of strong personality, without a doubt The maximum exponent of the academicist sensibility in the Valencia of the Enlightenment.
