Luis Paret y Alcázar (February 11, 1746 – February 14, 1799) was a Spanish painter of the late-Baroque or Rococo period.
He
was born in Madrid he first trained with Antonio González Velázquez and
attended the Academia Real de San Fernando in Madrid, where he won a
second prize in a painting contest in 1760, and first prize in 1766. He
entered the studio of the French painter Charles de la Traverse, who
worked for the Marchese of Ossun, the ambassador of France in Spain.
Unfortunately upon returning to Madrid, despite becoming a teacher in
the Academia de San Fernando at age 33 years, he mainly received royal
commissions to paint and engrave vistas of ports, the Spanish
equivalent of vedute, and also of planned works of construction. For
some years, he was banished to Puerto Rico, where he trained the
painter Jose Campeche. He also painted flowers in still life and genre
paintings called bambochadas for their focus on the customs of the
underclasses.
