Eduardo Leon Garrido ( Madrid , 1856 - Caen , 1949) was
a Spanish painter. He began his training at the School of Painting in Madrid
and as a disciple in the workshop of Vicente Palmaroli . Thanks to a grant from
the Provincial de Madrid, traveled to Paris where he attended the workshop of
Raimundo Madrazo . Later he traveled to Italy , connecting in Venice with
Spanish painters of the likes of Mariano Fortuny and Martín Rico . In 1905 he
was appointed professor of the School of Arts and Crafts in Varennes , staying
in France the rest of his life.
His style
is influenced by impressionism and for some critics is reminiscent of that of
Manet . His work is dedicated to traditional themes, portraits of women wearing
elegant clothes of the Belle Époque and reproduction of gallant scenes. He
achieved great success in his time and exhibited in Paris, London and Munich .
Some of his paintings can be seen in the Museo del Prado
(Madrid), Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (Argentina) , Bilbao Fine Arts Museum
and private collections such as the Bellver Collection of Seville. More Eduardo
