Antonio Cortés (also Antonio Cortés y Aguilar ; born March 10, 1827 in Seville , † March 14, 1908 in Lagny-sur-Marne ) was a Spanish-French painter .

His pictorial work is almost entirely devoted to the landscape and the animal genre with depictions of the French countryside, including the grazing of domestic animals.

He trained at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary ( Real Academia de Bellas Artes de Santa Isabel de Hungría ) in Seville and moved to Paris in 1855 for the Paris World Exhibition in 1855 . He lived in Lagny-sur-Marne until his death in 1908. His works are represented in the National Museum of Romanticism in Madrid ( Museo del Romanticismo ) (image: landscape with cattle) and in the Bellver collection ( Museo Bellver ) in Seville (image: landscape with shepherds and flock).

Antonio had a brother Andrés Cortés y Aguilar (1812–1879), who was also an artist. His son was Édouard Cortès , a French late Impressionist painter .
