| Julio Romero de Torres painted "Fuensanta" a few months before his death in autumn 1929. Time in which he worked on two other of his most important works: "La Chiquita Piconera" and "Bodegas Cruz Conde". The painting reflects in intensity the entire professional career of the artist from Cordoba He focused his effort on portraying the archetypal Andalusian woman. The model was María Teresa López González, born in Argentina - daughter of Spanish emigrants, who moved with her family back to Spain after the First World War. At the age of 14, she posed for the first time for the artist, of whom he would become a favorite model. When Julio Romero portrayed her in this painting, Teresa was 16 years old. In the painting, Teresa appears resting on a silver pitcher, next to a fountain that gives the painting its name and should correspond to the Sanctuary of La Fuensanta, in Córdoba. María Teresa López died in 2003 at the age of 89. The painting was exhibited in the Cordoba Pavilion of the Ibero-American Exhibition of Seville in 1929 and was finally sold by Julio Romero de Torres in February 1930 to an art collector. After that the traces will be lost until 2007. In this year the disappeared painting reappeared in the exhibition of the Casa Moneda in Argentina "Art in Money. Money in Art " and was subsequently sold by its current owner - an Argentine lawyer - in auction of the London gallery Sotheby's on November 14, 2007 for 1,173,375 euros (initially taxed between 600,000 and 800,000 euros) to an anonymous private buyer. According to this Argentine, the painting was in his possession since 1994. The previous 65 years and the current owner of the painting are still a mystery today.
