PRADILLA, FRANCISCO (1847 )

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 240 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
PRADILLA, FRANCISCO (1847 ) , Spanish painter, was born at Villanueva da Gallago (
Saragossa
 ). Having studied first at the Fernando
Academy
 , and then at the Spanish
Academy
  in Rome, of which he was afterwards director, he became the leading historical painter of
modern
  Spain. In 1896 he was appointed director of the Madrid Museum. Though he is best known for such large historical compositions as "
Joan
  the Mad" (gold
medal
 , Paris, 1878), and " The Surrender of
Granada
  " (gold
medal
 ,
Munich
 , 1883), in which he discarded the heavy colouring of Laurens for a lighter and more atmospheric key, he has painted many excellent genre pictures in the manner of Fortuny, and some decorative compositions in which he follows the example of Tiepolo. The best of these are his decorations in the Murgo Palace in Madrid. Among his best known works are " Elopement," " Strand at
Vigo
 ," " Procession in Venice," " La Fiorella," "
Reading
  on the Balcony," " Doti Alfonso the Warrior," and " Don Alfonso the Scholar." He became member of the Berlin Academy in 1892.
