The incorporated works include 'Tormenta en el Cantábrico' (Storm in the Cantabrian Sea), an oil on canvas created around 1890; 'Calvario de Albalat dels Tarongers' (Calvary of Albalat dels Tarongers), painted circa 1910; and 'Violetas con pensamientos' (Violets with Pansies), an oil on board dated around 1920. These pieces are representative of the main genres that Manzanet Millán cultivated throughout his career, as detailed by the art gallery.

The donation was made to the Generalitat for safekeeping at the MuBAV, on behalf of Ricardo Caruana Catalán, and comes from the collection of María Pilar Catalán Manzanet, the painter's great-granddaughter and granddaughter, respectively. This contribution enhances the museum's representation of Valencian painting from the late 19th and first half of the 20th century, incorporating an artist previously absent from its collection.

Ricardo Manzanet Millán, born in València, focused much of his work on landscapes, particularly seascapes with storms and coastal views of northern Spain, and was also recognized for his floral compositions. He began studying Medicine but soon pursued his true vocation in painting, training under Gonzalo Salvá Simbor and José Vilar Torres.

His artistic career primarily unfolded between Barcelona (1870-1894), where he completed his training with artists such as Ramon Martí Alsina and Modest Urgell, and his native city, València, to which he returned for the latter part of his production (1894-1939). In València, he connected with prominent figures of the era's society and intellectual circles, including a close relationship with writer Vicente Blasco Ibáñez.

Manzanet Millán participated in numerous national and international exhibitions, such as the Universal Exposition of Barcelona in 1888 and the exhibitions in Chicago and Puerto Rico in 1893.
