Horácio Pinto da Hora , known as Horácio Hora , (born September 17, 1853 in Laranjeiras, Sergipe , Brazil, † March 1, 1890 in Paris ) was one of the most important Brazilian painters of the Romantic period .

Life

Horácio Pinto da Hora grew up in Laranjeiras and began to work as a child. With a scholarship awarded by Parliament for art studies at home and abroad, he came to Europe in 1875 and enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts and the École Municipale de conception (Municipal School for Design) in Paris. An eight-month course with Professor Justin Lequien Fils appears to have been very successful. In any case, Horácio Pinto da Hora received the title of model student and first prize in the open competition for all schools in Paris.

In 1881, after six years, he returned to Brazil and tried to make a living from his art in his homeland in the state of Sergipe . In 1884 he went to the Academy of Fine Arts of Bahia. Here he acquired several diplomas and received first prize in a painting competition as well as several awards.

The unfavorable conditions in the Brazilian provinces caused him to return to Paris, the site of his first great successes. There he died in poverty in 1890. He was only 37 years old.

In 2003, the Sergipe regional government proclaimed the Horácio-Hora year on the occasion of the 150th birthday.

Works

Pinto da Hora left over 300 works; the best known of these are: Peri e Ceci (Pery e Cecy), Miséria e Caridade , Quitanta em Paris , Auto-retrato , Marquesa de Catumbi , Interior de um quarto em Paris , Rua Lafayette and Capitão Hora .

Part of his collection is housed in the Belém factory in Itaporanga (Sergipe) and in the Sergipe Historical Museum in São Cristóvão, where an exhibition room bears the name Horácio Pinto da Horas.
