José Moreno Carbonero (born March 28, 1860 in Málaga , † April 15, 1942 in Madrid ) was a Spanish history painter .

Life

Moreno Carbonero was born in the Perchel district of Málaga. From 1868 he studied at the art school Escuela de Bellas Artes de Málaga in his hometown under José Denis Belgrano and Bernardo Ferrándiz . At the age of twelve he sold one of his paintings ("La Posada de la Corona") for 1,000 pesetas and at the age of 16 he won an art competition in his hometown. In 1874 he won the silver medal at a national exhibition and the bronze medal in 1876. In 1876 he received a scholarship from Marià Fortuny to study in Rome. After his return he won in 1881 with "El Príncipe de Viana" and in 1887 with "La Conversión del Duque de Gandía" at the national art exhibition.

In 1888, Entrada de Roger de Flor en Constantinopla ( Roger de Flors' arrival in Constantinople ) was another of his well-known pictures. From 1892 he taught at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando and also as a professor for naturalistic drawing at the Escuela Superior de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado in Madrid. In 1924 he was named "Hijo Predilecto de Andalucía" by the Andalusian government (German: honorary citizen ).

As a student at the academy in Madrid, the young Salvador Dalí trained intensively on the academic painting style of Moreno Carbonero. Already in Málaga, the young Pablo Picasso was influenced by the “School of Painting of Málaga”, which had formed around the newly founded Escuela de Arte de San Telmo de Málaga and to which Moreno Carbonero belonged. Picasso became his student in Madrid, and Juan Gris also attended his painting class.

After his death, his body was transferred to his hometown and buried there in the "Cementerio San Miguel" cemetery. Since 1958, a memorial made by Mariano Benlliure in the Instituto de Educación Secundaria Jardines de Puerta Oscura has commemorated him, and a street in the center of Málaga ( Calle Moreno Carbonero ) bears his name.

One of his most famous works is the oil painting “Segunda fundación de Buenos Aires” , 1910 (The second foundation of Buenos Aires), oil on canvas, 4 × 2.40 m, which is exhibited in the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Buenos Aires .
