== Biography ==
He was born to a family of prominent bankers, and received a commercial education. His first art lessons came in 1889, from José de Larrocha (1850-1933) at the Granada School of Arts and Crafts. Between 1890 and 1895, he finished his technical education at the [[University of Granada]], but also painted as a hobby. During his time with Larrocha, he had become friends with the painter, , who encouraged him to make a career of art.
In 1899, he took that advice and moved to Madrid, where he studied with [[Emilio Sala (painter)|Emilio Sala]]. This involved several trips to Paris, to view the [[Old Masters]] in person. After paying a visit to the [[Exposition Universelle (1900)]], he produced a long series of Granadian landscapes and genre scenes, some of which earned him honorable mention at the [[National Exhibition of Fine Arts (Spain)|National Exhibition of Fine Arts]] in 1904.
He continued to participate in the National Exhibition, receiving a Second Class prize in 1906 and achieving a First Class prize in 1908 for "The Gypsies of Sacromonte". In 1910, his "Temptation on the Mount" led him to be honored as a full Commander in the [[Order of Alfonso XII]]. He also exhibited in Paris, Munich and Amsterdam. In 1913, he toured central Europe and paid a visit to Egypt.
In 1914, at the beginning of [[World War I]], he returned to Granada, where he began construction of his own home; an extensive and lush , a type of walled house with gardens and an orchard. Over the next decade, he painted little although, in 1923, he became involved in helping [[José Ortega y Gasset]] start up his cultural magazine, the ''''.
By 1928, the carmen and its accompanying studios was complete, so he began painting regularly again and took part in a retrospective of Spanish painting that toured Belgium and the Netherlands. Throughout the early 1930s, he became a world traveler, ranging from Canada to India and Africa. He also established a legacy fund for creating the , a cultural organization which, to this day, has its headquarters in his carmen.
Upon the outbreak of the [[Spanish Civil War]], he isolated himself in his studio and would remain in isolation until his death. During those years, he painted simple still-lifes and nudes, but failed to complete most of them. He died suddenly after a brief illness. The painting he was working on at the time, a female nude, has come to be called La Noche (Night), due to its resemblance to a sculpture by [[Michelangelo]]. It still stands in his studio, where it was when he died.
