Although he was born in Seville, José María Bracho Murillo -when signing he inverted his surnames- is considered to belong to the Malaga school. He lived in Seville until 1876, where he studied at the Academia de Nobles Artes de Santa Isabel de Hungría, where in 1844, at the age of seventeen, he won the first prize in the classes of Model in Plaster and Pieces. Among his teachers at that time was the famous painter Antonio María Esquivel, who became his teacher. He taught drawing in Cadiz in the middle of the century, and in 1854 he commissioned Esquivel to paint two large nude works: "La casta Susana" and "La mujer de Putifar". He also taught line and figure drawing at the Jerez de la Frontera secondary school and took part in the local exhibitions of 1858 and 1862, where he won a silver medal. It seems that he also sent works to the National Exhibition in Madrid at that time. Later he took part in the National Exhibition of 1871, and was praised by the critics with phrases such as "You deserve a flower for your beauty" (Ramos Carrión). In 1876 he was in Malaga, where the San Telmo Academy of Fine Arts hired him as a teacher and acquired several of his paintings as teaching material for the colouring class. In 1877 he presented several still lifes and fruit paintings at the exhibition held on the occasion of King Alfonso XIII's visit to Malaga. On this occasion, the monarch heard from the master Ferrándiz that Murillo Bracho "paints with the mastery of a teacher and the precision and awareness of a nature lover. The flowers are real, without his realism offending us". Some of his works exhibited on this occasion were later acquired by the city council. In 1878 he again took part in the National Exhibition, with several paintings of flowers, grapes and other fruits. That same year he took part in the Universal Exhibition in Paris. Despite his deteriorating health, Murillo Bracho took part in the local exhibition of 1880 with several of his paintings. Murillo Bracho's work was always dominated by his two favourite themes, grapes and flowers, depicted in a purist language that recalls bygone eras through its balance, weight and skill. His painting is based on the real fidelity of the objects to be represented, always rich in their chromaticism and with an attractive and elegant appearance. Murillo Bracho is currently represented in the Municipal Museum of Malaga.
