Álvaro Alcalá Galiano y Vildósola

Álvaro Alcalá Galiano y Vildósola, conde del Real Aprecio (21 May 1873, Bilbao - 27 November 1936, Madrid) was a Spanish painter and decorative artist.

Nevertheless, his parents had the final word, so he returned to study in Madrid, in the studios of José Jiménez Aranda then, later, with Joaquín Sorolla, who considered him to be one of his best students.

[2] In 1902, he took an extended trip to Brittany, the Netherlands, and Germany, to find subject matter for his works and expand his stylistic repertoire.

In addition, he was one of the organizers for expositions in Bilbao and San Sebastián, and served as President of the Asociación de Pintores y Escultores Españoles [es].

[1] In the early days of the Spanish Civil War, he was arrested by the Republican faction and executed by firing squad, during the Paracuellos massacres.
