Erotic Art: Falero-Orient - Public domain scenic painting

Luis Ricardo Falero (1851—1896) was a Spanish painter. He specialized in female nudes and mythological, oriental, and fantasy settings. His most common medium was oil on canvas. Falero was born in Granada and originally pursued a career in the Spanish Navy, but gave it up to his parent's disappointment. He walked to Paris, where he studied art, chemistry, and mechanical engineering. The experiments that he had to conduct in the latter two were so dangerous, however, that he decided to focus on painting alone. He was a student of Gabriel Ferrier. After Paris, he studied in London, where he eventually settled.
