José María Romero López

José María Romero López (12 May 1815 in Seville – 1894 in Madrid)[1] was a Spanish painter in the Romantic style.

In 1838, already a working artist, he was registered as a member of the Real Sociedad Económica Sevillana de Amigos del País; having gained his membership by donating a work called "The Coronation of the Drunkards", rather than paying the usual cash fee.

The following year, he was installed in the Palacio de San Telmo; doing work for Antoine, Duke of Montpensier.

From 1840 to 1879, he was a regular participant in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts.

In 1879, he established himself in Madrid, where he painted portraits and some religious works.
