Emilio Jacinto Mauri

Emilio Jacinto Mauri Ivern (9 March 1855, La Guaira - 18 February 1908, Caracas) was a Venezuelan painter who specialized in portraits; mostly of an historical nature.

He originally planned to pursue a career in medicine and worked at the hospital there, but eventually decided to devote himself to painting instead.

Later, he received a commission from the Ministry of Public Instruction to restore the frescos at the palace of the Marquis de Saint Paul.

In 1874, upon the invitation of President Antonio Guzmán Blanco, he returned to the country of his birth to participate in ongoing cultural reforms.

In 1883, he exhibited at the "Exposición Nacional de Venezuela", celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Simón Bolívar, winning a bronze medal.
