Antonio Amorós y Botella (Alicante, 1849-Madrid, 1925)
Painter of landscapes and still life forms, he was remarkable at painting flower vases thanks to his expertise in colour and composition. He received a grant from the Diputación de Málaga, and he studied at the Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando de Madrid and at the Museo del Prado, where he used to copy the masters, a common learning technique at that time. He also received a grant from the Diputación de Alicante in order to continue his training in Italy.
He was not an outstanding painter, although he did take part in some national exhibitions and was awarded some prizes. He was mostly focused on his teaching career.
Between 1892 and 1897 he taught drawing at the Escuela de Bellas Artes de A Coruña, where Picasso was one of his students. Afterwards, he worked as a professor in some other cities, including Manila, which at the time, was still a Spanish colony, as well as Madrid, Logroño, Toledo and Algeciras.
In 1924 there was a retrospective exhibition to honour him in his hometown of Alicante.
