José Villegas Cordero (26 August 1844 – 9 November 1921 was a Spanish painter of historical, genre and costumbrista scenes. == Early life == His father ran a barbershop, and his family had their doubts about an artistic career.〔(Biography ) @ Conocer Sevilla.〕 But, in 1860, when he was still only sixteen, he sold one of his works at the "Exposición Sevillana" for 2,000 Reales. This changed his family's mind and he was apprenticed to the painter José María Romero López, staying with him for two years before enrolling at the Escuela de Bellas Artes de Sevilla, where he studied with Eduardo Cano.〔(Biography ) @ MCN Biografías.〕 In 1867, he travelled to Madrid, where found work in the studios of Federico de Madrazo. While there, he spent time at the Museo del Prado, copying the works of Velázquez to perfect his technique. Finally, inspired by the works of the Orientalist painter Marià Fortuny, he organized an excursion to Morocco.〔(Museo del Prado ): Biography, with details of his tenure as Director.〕 Near the end of 1868, with financial assistance from his family, he decided to visit Rome with some of his friends〔 and spent time in the workshop of Eduardo Rosales. It was there that he created his first costumbrista works, which proved to be very popular. He also began painting Orientalist scenes based on the numerous sketches he brought back from Morocco,〔 and returned there briefly to collect more material. The vogue for these types of paintings was soon at its high point, and his works were widely promoted by the Bosch y Hernández galleries. 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 Villegas Cordero」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
