Fuenteneptuno - A black and white photo of a fountain
Summary
Español: Fuente de Neptuno en el bulevar 30 de junio de la Ciudad de Guatemala.
He grew up and was educated during the liberal reforms of the 1870s and 1880s, becoming an anti-clerical agnostic, not uncommon among educated youth in Guatemala during those decades. He graduated from the then prestigious Instituto Nacional for boys, where he was a classmate of Rafael Spínola - who would go on to become editor-in-chief of La Ilustración Guatemalteca and La Idea Liberal, and eventually secretary of infrastructure to President Manuel Estrada Cabrera - who in 1896 described him as a consumed artist who used to draw his classmates and teacher during class. Towards the end of the 1890s, he worked with a partner in "Fernández and Valdeavellano" under the name "El Siglo XX" ("The 20th Century"). By this time he was living in an Arabic-style house in Guatemala City and had a steady stream of socialites who wanted to be portrayed; some of his best work was published fortnightly in La Ilustración Guatemalteca. After a trip to Europe, his studio became El Arte Nuevo in the 1900s, and towards the end of his life he founded the company Valdeavellano y Bolaños, where he worked until his death in 1928.
