Don José de Madrazo (1781-1859) was a Spanish painter, born in Santander. He studied under Ferro at the Madrid Academy, under David in Paris, and later at Rome. He was director of the Academy of San Fernando and exercised a decidedly deteriorating influence on the development of Spanish painting. His pictures, mostly historical, and painted in a dry, classical style, include several in the Madrid Gallery and one in the Quirinal Palace, Rome. He is best-known as the father of Federico de Madrazo, (1815-1894).
