Eugenio Lucas Y Villaamil

Eugenio Lucas Y Villaamil (1858 - 1919) was active/lived in Spain.  Eugenio Lucas Y Villaamil is known for Figure, genre painting.

Son of the painter Eugenio Lucas Velázquez, also a follower of Francisco de Goya, he inherited from his father the speed and ease in the use of the brush. His brushstroke, short and thick, denounces his deep admiration for the great Spanish masters, such as Velázquez, Carreño, Murillo and, above all, Goya.

His painting moves away from academicism and is loose and undone, impastoed and of great chromatic richness, while his subjects speak of the people and their customs.

He studied at the Special School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving in Madrid, where he stood out for his mastery as a draftsman. He completed his training by assiduously visiting the Prado Museum, where he copied several works by Goya. He also frequented the intellectual circles of Madrid at the end of the 19th century, until he was discovered by the patron José Lázaro Galdiano, who named him his chamber painter and commissioned him to decorate his palace in Parque Florido.
