By: Julián Gállego Serrano, María José Alonso

Manuel Ojeda y Siles was a pupil of Antonio María Esquivel. He took part in national fine arts exhibitions with "costumbrist" and historical paintings, though he earned most renown for his portraits of famous personages of his time. In 1860 he was given an honourable mention for two paintings themed around the war in Africa.
