Alberto Valenzuela Llanos

Ramón Alberto Valenzuela Llanos ( born August 29, 1869 in San Fernando, † July 23, 1925 in Santiago de Chile) was a Chilean painter.

Valenzuela studied from 1887 at the Academia de Bellas Artes in Santiago, where Cosme San Martín, Juan Mochi and Pedro Lira were his teachers. In 1890 he received the bronze medal of the Salon Official of Santiago for his painting Puesta de sol en los Andes. From 1903 he taught drawing at the Liceo Luis Amunategui. In 1906 he studied at the Académie Julien in Paris with Jean Paul Laurens. In 1910 he became the successor of Fernando Álvarez de Sotomayor professor at the Academia de Bellas Artes. Among his pupils were, inter alia, Pedro Luna, Agustín Arturo Abarca and Gordon.

For his works Valenzuela Llanos has been awarded many times, including seven times the Premio del Certamen Edwards (1894, 1897, 1898, 1900, 1908, 1911 and 1914 ). Art critic Antonio Romera counted him next to Alfredo Valenzuela Puelma, Pedro Lira and Juan Francisco González for the Grandes Maestros de la Pintura, the most important Chilean painter of the late 19th and early 20th century.
