Domingo Valdivieso

Domingo Valdivieso y Henarejos (30 August 1830 – 22 November 1872) was a Spanish painter and engraver in the Academic style.

While there, he displayed a notable talent for drawing, so his counselors advised him to pursue artistic studies as well.

He also began to do lithography, providing illustrations for General Staff of the Spanish Army by Pedro Chamorro [es] and History of the Royal Spanish Navy by José Ferrer de Couto and José March [es].
