This article investigates, from the interests and strategies of the specific relationships between photography and painting in the mid-nineteenth century in Spain, the photographic reproductions of artistic works taken by Charles Clifford during his professional career in our country, and offers new information about his stay in Seville in the spring of 1854. As a result of a comparative study conducted by the researcher of the reproductions and the paintings, which the photographer said he used as models, with special attention given to those of Murillo, it is concluded that Clifford did not photograph the original works, rather replicas of these made by copyists.
