Tomás García Sampedro

Tomás García Sampedro (17 May 1860 – 1937) was a Spanish painter; primarily of landscapes and rural scenes, in costumbrista style.

Nevertheless, the site's fame assured that it would continue to be visited by notable artists, including Joaquín Sorolla, Cecilio Plá and Juan Antonio Benlliure [es].

Later, thanks to critical praise for several of his works, the stipend was extended, allowing him to tour Italy and France, and spend his summers at home with his group.

With "At the Fall of Evening", painted in Rome in 1889, he was awarded a third-class medal at the Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes in 1890.

Ill and out of money, he returned home in 1892 and settled in his native village, although he continued to travel; visiting Madrid, Barcelona and Paris for extended periods.
