His Life and Art
Early Studies and Moving to Paris
Andrés Parladé started learning art in his hometown of Málaga. His first teacher was Moreno Carbonero, a painter known for portraits and historical scenes. Later, Parladé moved to Seville, where he studied law.
In 1882, he decided to focus completely on painting. He moved to Paris, France, to study art. There, he learned from Léon Bonnat at the famous École des Beaux Arts.
Time in Rome and Return to Seville
After his time in Paris, Parladé traveled to Rome, Italy. He lived there until 1891. Then, he moved back to Seville, Spain, where he settled down for good.
Important Roles and Discoveries
In 1902, Parladé became an Academician at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de Santa Isabel de Hungría. This is a special honor for artists. The next year, he became the Count of Aguiar, taking over from his father.
In 1909, he was chosen to be a Senator for the Province of Seville. This meant he helped make important decisions for the area. In 1919, the Academia recommended him to lead excavations at the ancient Roman city of Italica. This important archaeological work, near Santiponce, became his main focus until he passed away.
How His Painting Style Changed
Andrés Parladé's paintings can be divided into two clear periods. In his first period, which lasted until the late 1800s, he painted historical scenes. He followed the style of his first teacher, Carbonero.
Around the year 1900, his style changed. He started painting in a modified costumbrista style. This means he focused on scenes of local customs and daily life. At first, he painted bullfighting scenes with great detail. Later, he turned to pictures of farmers and animals, especially dogs and horses. Many of his animal paintings show hunting, which was a sport he enjoyed himself.
Exhibitions and Where to See His Art
Andrés Parladé showed his artwork in many exhibitions outside of Spain. These included shows in London (1888), Berlin (1890), Paris (1899), and San Francisco (1915). You can see his paintings in places like the Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla and other art museums.
