Victor Patricio Landaluze, born in 1830 in Bilbao, Landaluze received a careful education, in which included learning several languages. For a time he resided in Paris. His presence in Cuba was recorded around the year 1850. He is the best-known Cuban practitioner of costumbrismo, depicting Cuban peasants, and landowners. He taught at the Academy of Fine Arts of San Alejandro in Havana, and served as its director. He opposed Cuban independence an attitude reflected in his work; nevertheless his paintings provide a valuable view of nineteenth-century Cuban society. His works also depict a somewhat idealized view of plantation life.
