Vicente Palmaroli
Ca. 1894. Albumen on paper.Room 060
The painter Vicente Palmaroli (1834-1896) directed the Spanish Academy in Rome between 1883 and 1891, and the Museo del Prado from 1894 until his death. For this portrait by Manuel Alviach, he opted for a large-format photograph, designed to be framed or displayed, rather than a painted likeness.
