Luis Ricardo Falero
Luis Ricardo Falero (born May 23, 1851 in Granada ; died December 7, 1896 in London ), also Riccardo , Duque de Labranzano, was a Spanish painter.
Life
Contrary to the wishes of his wealthy parents, Luis Ricardo Falero decided against a naval career in the Spanish Armada when he was sixteen . He autodidactically acquired his drawing and painting skills and initially worked for years in Paris , where he took part in the exhibitions of the Paris Salon several times between 1879 and 1885 . He then moved to London, where he was occasionally represented with works in the exhibitions of the Royal Academy of Arts from 1889 to 1893 .
His main interest was the female nude, which he placed in his pictures on various topics. For Camille Flammarion's fantastic story Uranie , published in 1889 , he contributed illustrations, along with other artists.
With the painter and businessman's daughter Alice Herrfeldt, who was his student, he fathered the son Marcel René von Herrfeldt , who also became a painter. In 1889, in the year her son was born, Alice Herrfeldt married the Hungarian opera singer Alexander Klein.
