Domingo Laporte (October 19, 1855 – 1928) was a Uruguayan painter and engraver who gained international recognition and became the first director of the National Museum of Fine Arts.

[1] He returned from Italy in 1896 and, in addition to his work as a painter, he devoted himself to teaching painting and drawing.

The National Museum of Visual Arts houses a collection of engravings using the etching technique, which was introduced to Uruguay by Laporte.

This collection includes "Portrait of Giovanni Fattori," "Pines in the Apennines," "Livorno Countryside," "Small Shipyard," "Montevideo Bay," and "Etruscan Theater."

[1] In 1997, the National Postal Administration issued a stamp featuring his work "Autumn Twilight – Venice".
