Fernando García del Molino

Fernando García del Molino (23 March 1813, Santiago — 1899, Buenos Aires) was a Viceroyalty of Peru-born Argentine portrait painter, miniaturist and lithographer.

Shortly after, he began to show some artistic talent and was enrolled in classes at the "Academy of Drawing" of the University of Buenos Aires, where he studied with the Italian painter, Pablo Caccianiga (1798-1862).

He visited Rosas' home in the Palermo District so frequently, that he virtually became the Governor's official painter.

[2] He also created portraits of notable figures from Argentine history, including Facundo Quiroga and José Félix Aldao.

Later, he took a trip to London; invited by Manuela Rosas and her husband, Máximo Terrero (1817-1898), the son of rancher and businessman Juan Nepomuceno Terrero [es].
