From Wikipedia

The monk parakeet (Myiopsitta monachus), also known as the monk parrot or Quaker parrot, is a species of true parrot in the family Psittacidae. It is a small to medium, bright-green parrot with a greyish breast and greenish-yellow abdomen. Its average lifespan is approximately 15 years. It originates from the temperate to subtropical areas of South America. Self-sustaining feral populations occur in many places, mainly in areas of similar climate in North America and Europe.

The nominate subspecies of this parrot is 29 cm (11 in) long on average, with a 48-centimetre (19 in) wingspan, and weighs 100 g (3.5 oz). Females tend to be 10–20% smaller, but can only be reliably sexed by DNA or feather testing. Monk parakeets display very subtle sexual dimorphism in the colouration of their crown and wing coverts, but this is not noticeable to the human eye.[16] It has bright-green upperparts. The forehead and breast are pale grey with darker scalloping and the rest of the underparts are very light-green to yellow. The remiges are dark blue, and the tail is long and tapering. The bill is orange. The call is a loud and throaty chape(-yee) or quak quaki quak-wi quarr, and screeches skveet.

Domestic breeds in colours other than the natural plumage have been produced. These include birds with white, blue, and yellow in place of green. As such colouration provides less camouflage, feral birds are usually of wild-type colouration.

The 19th century was one of the most significant periods in the city’s history. The booming economy, the rising bourgeoisie and urban planning reforms combined to forge its identity and that of the future Museum of Málaga.

In those years, the development of industry and trade facilitated the establishment of a liberal bourgeois class who, motivated by that material prosperity, began to show their interest in the arts and education. They created centres of learning and institutions like the School of Fine Arts and the Royal Academy of San Telmo, which soon replaced the church and nobility as the new patrons of art.

The city underwent an unprecedented urban transformation as working-class neighbourhoods sprang up, the historic quarter was remodelled, and new venues of artistic enjoyment and entertainment were built, such as the Cervantes Theatre. The painter Bernardo Ferrándiz was hired to decorate the theatre’s interior. The great painting on the ceiling of the performance hall was to feature the port and railway station as symbols of Málaga’s enterprising spirit and progress, and industry, commerce and agriculture were also represented in this allegorical composition, which presents the city as a protector and patron of the fine arts.

Enrique Simonet Lombardo (February 2, 1866 – April 20, 1927) was a Spanish painter.

Simonet was born in Valencia. His first vocation of childhood was religious studies, but he abandoned it to devote himself to painting. Despite being Valencian and studying at the Saint Charles Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Valencia, he joined a circle of artists in the city of Málaga. He also attended the workshop of Bernardo Ferrándiz Bádenes, forming part of the Malaga school of painting.

In 1887 obtained a grant to study painting in the Fine Arts Academy in Rome, where he painted in 1890 Heart’s Anatomy; a painting that would bring him international recognition and which won him several prizes. Taking advantage of his stay Simonet traveled throughout Italy, visited Paris several times and in 1890 he made a tour of the Mediterranean. He also traveled to the Holy Land, where he painted his monumental work Flevit super illam (painting); work for which he received numerous medals including Madrid in 1892, Chicago in 1893, Barcelona in 1896 and Paris in 1900. In 1893 and 1894 Simonet traveled to Morocco as a war correspondent for the magazine La Ilustración Española y Americana.

In 1901 he became professor of Studies and Forms of Nature and Art, at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona. In 1911 he became a member of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid. Between 1921 and 1922 he was director of the Private Paular for landscapers.

José Moreno Carbonero (Spanish: [xo’se mo’reno karbo’nero]; 24 March 1858 – 15 April 1942) was a Spanish painter and decorator. A prominent member of the Málaga School of Painting, he is considered one of the last great history painters of the 19th century. He was a celebrated portrait painter who enjoyed the patronage of Madrid’s high society. He also created genre scenes and some landscapes, vedutas and still lifes.

Moreno Carbonero was widely recognized, both nationally and internationally, during his lifetime. He received awards, among others, at the Exposition Universelle of Paris in 1889, the Budapest International Exhibition in 1890, the Universal Exhibition of Berlin in 1891 and the only medal at the World’s Columbian Exposition of Chicago in 1893.

His work is represented at some of the most influential museums in the world, with El Prado Museum, in Madrid, holding an important collection. Among his masterworks are The Entry of Roger de Flor in Constantinople (1888), The Prince don Carlos de Viana (1881), The Conversion of the Duke of Gandía (1884) and The Founding of Buenos Aires (1910–1924).
