José Alcoverro y Amorós (Tivenys, Tarragona, 1835 — Madrid, December 1908) was a Spanish sculptor, a pupil of José Piquer. Alcoverro was a virtuoso modeller who specialised in realistic portraiture, and whose penchant for realism animated both his religious compositions, often selected for their inherent drama, such as the ''Ishmael Fainting of Thirst'' (1867), which brought him to public attention)〔It was purchased for the academy at Valencia.〕 and his allegorical official commissions. He exhibited in the Madrid annual expositions from 1867 to 1907. Among his works in Madrid are: * the figures of Alonso Berruguete, Alfonso X ''the Wise'' and Isidore of Seville at the Biblioteca Nacional de España, 1892 * a monument to Agustín Argüelles, 1902 * figures of ''Economy'' and ''Bookkeeping'' on the façade of the Banco Central Hispano, 1904 * allegorical figure of ''Agriculture'', on the monument to Alfonso XII, in the Parque del Buen Retiro, 1907)〔The project was under the direction of the architect José Grasés y Riera ((Monumento a Alfonso XII )).〕 * the monument to Padre Francisco Piquer, Monte de Piedad ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「José Alcoverro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
