Isabel la Católica (Ayuntamiento de Sevilla)

Joaquín Domínguez Bécquer (1817-1879) was a Spanish painter born in Seville, Spain. He was the elder brother of the famous poet and playwright Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer and the painter Valeriano Bécquer. Joaquín was best known for his religious and historical paintings, often depicting scenes from Spanish history and mythology. Although he did not achieve the fame of his brother, Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, who was known for his poetry and literary works, Joaquín's contributions to Spanish art are still appreciated. His works often reflect the Romanticism of the period, depicting themes of passion, heroism and Spanish cultural identity. Joaquín Domínguez Bécquer died in Seville in 1879.
