Joaquín Agrasot

Joaquín Agrasot y Juan (24 December 1836 – 8 January 1919) was a Spanish painter of the Realistic style who produced many works in the Costumbrismo genre.

His studies began in his home town and, in 1856, he received a fellowship from the "Diputación Provincial de Alicante", the local government.

While there, he became a member of the artistic circle that congregated at the Antico Caffè Greco; a group that included Eduardo Rosales, José Casado del Alisal and Marià Fortuny.

He submitted many canvases to the National Exhibition of Fine Arts and received substantial recognition.

In 1884, the Spanish government bought his painting "The Death of the Marqués del Duero" for display in the Senate.
