Antonio Gisbert

Antonio Gisbert Pérez (19 December 1834 – 27 November 1901) was a Spanish artist situated on the cusp between the realist and romantic movements in art.

He was known for painting pictures of important events in a country's history in a realistic style, yet clearly with a political aim as well; his variance in styles puts him in the Spanish eclectic school of painters.

Gisbert became the Director of the Museo del Prado in Madrid in 1868.

He stayed in that position until 1873, when he resigned because of opposition to the new First Spanish Republic.

He moved permanently to Paris and died there on November 27, 1901.
