Ignacio Suárez Llanos

Ignacio Suárez Llanos (31 July 1830 in Gijón – 25 December 1881 in Madrid) was a Spanish painter and illustrator who specialized in portraits.

[2] He was a regular participant in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts, beginning in 1858, when his depiction of Caius Gracchus was instrumental in his being awarded the scholarship for Rome.

He received a Third Class prize in 1860 for a scene from a classic folktale, La tía fingida [es] (The Feigned Aunt).

He is, however, best remembered for his portraits, which include those of Emilio Castelar, President of the First Spanish Republic, Práxedes Mateo Sagasta, who served several terms as prime minister, Queen María Cristina, the dramatists, Gaspar Núñez de Arce and Antonio García Gutiérrez, and the ceramicist, Daniel Zuloaga.

He was also a regular contributor of illustrations for the magazine, El Arte en España [es], and served as a jury member for numerous exhibitions.
