This article appears in Volume V17, Page 292 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LUP-MAL
MADRAZO Y KUNT, DON FEDERICO DE (1815-1894) , Spanish painter, was born in Rome on the 12th of February 1815. He was the son of the painter Madrazo y Agudo (1781-1859), and received his first instruction from his father. While still attending the classes at the
Academy
  of San Fernando he painted his first picture, " The Resurrection of Christ " (1829), which was
purchased
  by Queen Christina. Not
long
  afterwards he painted " Achilles in his Tent," and subsequently presented to the
Academy
  " The Continence of Scipio," which secured him admission as a member " for merit." While decorating the palace of Vista Alegre he took up
portraiture
 . In 1852 he went to Paris, where he studied under Winterhalter, and painted portraits of Baron Taylor and of
Ingres
 . In 1837 he was commissioned to produce a picture for the gallery at
Versailles
 , and painted " Godfrey de Bouillon proclaimed King of Jerusalem." The artist then went to Rome, where he worked at various subjects, sacred and profane. Then he painted " Maria Christina in the Dress of a Nun by the bedside of Ferdinand III." (1843), " Queen Isabella," " The Duchess of Medina-Coeli," and " The Countess de Vilches " (1845-1847), besides a number of portraits of the Spanish aristocracy, some of which were sent to the exhibition of 1855. He received the Legion of Honour in 1846. He was made a corresponding member of the Paris Academy of Fine Arts on the loth of December 1853, and in 1873, on the death of Schnorr, the painter, he was chosen foreign member. After his father's death he succeeded him as director of the Prado Gallery and president of the Academy of San Fernando. He originated in Spain the production of art reviews and
journals
 , such as El Artiste, El Renacimiento and El Semanario pintoresco. He died at Madrid on the 11th of June 1894. .His brother, DON LOUIS DE MADRAZO, was also known as a painter, chiefly by his " Burial of Saint
Cecilia
 " (1855). Don Federico's best-known pupil was his son, DON RAIMUNDO DE MADRAZO (b. 1841).
