Dióscoro Teófilo Puebla Tolín (25 February 1831 – 24 October 1901) was a Spanish painter in the Eclectic style who specialized in portraits, genre and history painting.
His first studies took place in the public schools of Carrión de los Condes, where he displayed his talent for drawing.
This led to his enrollment at the new "Escuela Municipal de Dibujo de Palencia", which had been created in 1838 and ultimately produced many well-known Spanish artists, including José Casado del Alisal, Eugenio Oliva and Asterio Mañanós Martínez.
In 1882, he was chosen to be an "Academician" by his peers at San Fernando[1] and, in 1897, he became the Director of the "School of Drawing, Painting and Engraving", succeeding Luis de Madrazo.
Many of his portraits are displayed in the Congress of Deputies in Spain, including those of Nicomedes Pastor Díaz and Pedro José Pidal.
