Joaquín Vaamonde Cornide (La Coruña, 1872 - La Coruña, 1900) was a Spanish painter of the so called Sorrowful Generation.
Biography
He began in the world of painting by the painter Modesto Brocos, and quickly left his hometown to travel to America. Back at age 22, he had become an artist with his own style. At the end of the 19th century, he was known in Madrid, thanks in part to the influence of the writer Emilia Pardo Bazán, at that time outstanding in Spanish literature as a writer and public figure. Its implication was such that the writer made him the protagonist of La Chimera (1905), where he was portrayed as a young talented painter who emphasized in his work the portrait of the bourgeoisie, pretending to be like the great masters in the Museum Of the Prado. At 32 years of age died of tuberculosis.
His works, mainly made in pastel and centered on portraiture, can be seen in the Museum of Fine Arts in La Coruña, among others, 1 the portrait in pastel by Pardo Bazán and another by Ramón Pérez Costales (promoter of the Real Academia Gallega Along with Pardo Bazán).
