Artist's biography:

Emilio Álvarez Díaz (Buenos Aires, June 21, 1879 - Madrid, July 5, 1952) was a Hispano-Argentine painter of the 20th century. He emigrated as a child with his family to Madrid, where he was a pupil of Emilio Ordóñez. His work was heavily influenced by Goya, Lucas Velázquez and Fortuny. He practiced painting and sculpture, standing out in themes such as majismo, still lifes, landscapes and Orientalist scenes, particularly with horse-mounted Moors. He was characterized by a style that recalls the Goyesque school and traditional Spanish motifs. Due to his shy nature, he rarely participated in exhibitions or competitions. Some of his works are unsigned or with altered signatures to increase their market value.

His work is valued and appears in collections and auctions, including typical Goyesque scenes and Orientalist landscapes. Emilio Álvarez Díaz maintains significant importance in Spanish and Argentine art of the first half of the 20th century
