Víctor Patricio de Landaluze (1828 - 8 June 1889),[1][2] was a Spanish-born painter active for much of his career in Cuba. He is the best-known Cuban practitioner of costumbrismo, depicting Cuba peasants (guajiros), landowners, and slaves. He taught at the Academy of San Alejandro in Havana, and served as its director.[3] He opposed Cuban independence, an attitude reflected in his work; nevertheless his paintings provide a valuable view of nineteenth-century Cuban society. His works also depict a somewhat idealized view of plantation life.
