Description
Costumbrista Scene, Mariano Alonso Pérez y Villagrosa (Zaragoza, 1857–Madrid, 1930), 19th-century Spanish school
Oil on canvas, canvas dimensions: 75 x 60 cm, frame dimensions: 92 x 77 cm. Mariano Alonso Pérez y Villagrosa (Zaragoza, 1857–Madrid, 1930) was a Spanish painter. He began his artistic training at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zaragoza and continued at the Special School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving in Madrid. He later moved to Rome, where he attended the Chigi and Cauva Academies and became familiar with the technique of watercolour. In 1889, he settled in Paris, where his brother, the composer Luis Alonso, lived. He produced several works set in the time of Louis XVI, which were in great international demand and enabled him to live comfortably. From 1910, he became interested in painting social themes and, in 1914—coinciding with the outbreak of the First World War—he decided to return to Spain to settle in Madrid, the city where he died in 1930. Provenance: former private collection, Madrid.
