Josè Gallegos y Arnosa

This site is about the Spanish artist José Gallegos y Arnosa born in Jerez in 1857. This short history is compiled from writings from the painter's son, Adrian Gallegos, and from contemporary catalogues and articles in the Italian Press. The photographs have been taken from auction catalogues, and where possible, directly from paintings that are still in the artist's family. José Gallegos y Arnosa formed part of the Spanish school of painters living in Rome, together with Barbudo, José Villegas Cordero, Barbasan, Salinas, Poveda, and Mariano Benlliure.
