  DOMINGO MUÑOZ CUESTA (Madrid, 1850 - 1935). "Spanish Dance", Paris. Oil on panel. Signed and located in the lower right corner. Measurements: 26.5 x 35 cm; 59 x 67 cm (frame) Domingo Muñoz was formed in the School of San Fernando and with Francisco Domingo. After finishing his studies he worked as a caricaturist in "Mundo Cómico", and as a cartoonist for several publications, such as "La Ilustración Militar". In 1876 he was awarded a prize in the competition of "La Ilustración Española y Americana", and the following year he participated for the first time in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts. In this period he exhibits his works in the Society The Watercolor, of the Artistic Circle of Madrid. He resides in Rome since 1880, where his work will gather the influence of Vicente Palmaroli. In the Italian capital his paintings framed in the War of Independence acquired great fame. From Italy he sent canvases to Spain, to exhibitions such as that of the Círculo Artístico de Madrid, obtaining notable success. In these years, moved by an offer from the French art dealer Goupil, he moved to Paris, where he settled in 1884. There he won a prize at the Salon of the same year, and soon opened his own studio, where he had as disciples painters of the stature of the Alvarez Dumont brothers. In Paris, Muñoz would devote himself to depicting Andalusian genre scenes, as well as oriental themes, all genres that were in great demand by the public at the time. His work as a painter of military themes was also outstanding, a genre in which he competed with his friend José Cusachs. In 1899 he spent a season in the mountains of Guadarrama, in order to take notes for the paintings of Spanish themes that he would later paint in Paris. During these years he continued to participate in the Nationals of Madrid, where he obtained a second medal in 1901. Shortly after he returned to Spain, and in his last years he was named Knight of the Order of Carlos II. Domingo Muñoz is represented in museums such as the Camón Aznar Museum in Zaragoza, the Army Museum in Madrid or La Casa del Angel in Malaga, as well as in many prestigious private collections, both in Spain and abroad.
