Biography

Joaquín works characteristically implied strong brushwork and vivid colors and a wide range of themes ? from portraits to historical events. His most celebrated series of works is probably large mural panels that was commissioned to create by the Hispanic Society of America in New York, representing characteristic scenes of various Spanish provinces.

A large number of his works can also be discovered at his former home, and now a well-known museum, in Madrid.
