Jose Moya del Pino

[4] Moya del Pino and two other distinguished members of the Spanish Court brought over 50 paintings for exhibitions in Philadelphia, New York, Washington, D.C., and San Francisco.

Moya del Pino had labored for four years on this project: measuring, studying, grinding pigments, and mixing colors according to 17th Century recipes in order to duplicate the original canvases as exactly as possible.

[4] In subsequent years, when civil war in Spain threatened the original masterpieces of Velázquez, Moya del Pino's work gained in importance.

In 1933, Moya del Pino painted murals and managed the lavish interior design for the rathskeller (a basement tasting room) at the Aztec Brewing Company in San Diego.

[6] The Acme Brewing Company building was demolished in 1990, however the Moya del Pino murals were moved and currently live at the Logan Heights Library in San Diego.
