Victoriano Balasanz

Victoriano Balasanz Sánchez (23 March 1854 — 27 October 1929) was a Spanish painter.

Balasanz was born on 23 March 1854 in Castiliscar, although he was primarily circumscribed to Zaragoza.

[3] He cultivated history painting in a "rather cold and awkward" manner, as described by Federico Torralba Soriano [es],[4] and gained some reputation.

[5] Like Plano, he became a pensioner[2] and was in correspondence with Zenón Trigo when there were difficulties with the Ayuntamiento de Zaragoza [es].

[6] Related to spiritism,[7] he died on 27 October 1929 in Montevideo,[8] having emigrated to South America in old age.
