Full name of the talented painter Jose Maria Tranquilino Francisco de Jesus Gomez Velasco Obregon.
On the life of his master
Biography artist, reported to this day, is a bit, but I will try to make my post as informative as possible.
Jose was born on July 6, 1840. From birth to the end of his life (August 26, 1912) he lives in Mexico City. He was fortunate enough to be a student of the San Carlos Fine Arts Academy, where he painted the walls of this beautiful institute corridor at night.
The first teacher of the early artist was Eugenio Landeso, who opened the path of realism and landscape in his work. Thanks to this lady, the young man from his early years saw his calling in landscape writing, but was unusual, but written with precision photography.
After graduating from training and gaining certain fame, Jose at the age of 18, he was awarded a teacher perspective degree at the Academy of the Arts, and was awarded several gold medals several times. The young man was in great demand and even considered one of the best artists of his time.
Creativity features
Speaking of the works of Jose Maria Velasco, one can not but note the special realism of the portrayal of Mexico to them. The landscaping of the homeland inspired his master to write real work, and he devoted his whole life to creativity. Each artist's image is created from nature, detailing the natural beauty of nature.
The main elements in José María Velasco's works are dome and basilica of churches, valleys and mountains in the homeland of Lake Texcoco. The paintings of the creator have transferred in our day the true spirit of the nature and activity of Mexican man during his lifetime.
José's compatriots are highly respected, as evidenced by the monuments established in his honor. To see it personally you can take a stroll along the Misterios road in his home country of Mexico. In addition to the monument, the name of the artist is dedicated to the museum, which opened in 1992 in Toluca City to preserve his paintings.
