Manuel Laureano Ladrón de Guevara Romero ( born June 18, 1889 in Molina, † November 21, 1968 in Santiago de Chile) was a Chilean painter.

Guevara began his training in Valparaíso as a pupil of Juan Francisco González.

As a student Sotomayor he belongs to the group of painters of the Generación del Trece.

After his first solo exhibition in Santiago Guevara in 1924 traveled to Europe and studied at the Académie de la Grande Chaumiere fresco painting and engraving. From 1926 he taught engraving at the Escuela de Bellas Artes in Santiago. Together with Arturo Gordon he decorated the National Library with allegorical frescoes and designed the 1929 Chilean Pavilion at the Ibero- Americana in Seville ExposiciÃ, for which both were awarded a first prize.

As a representative of the group of painters of the Generación de Veintiocho, where a decree of the President Carlos Ibañez del Campo allowed to study in Europe, studied Guevara in 1930 at the Art Academy in Copenhagen fresco and stained glass. From 1933 he was twenty years professor of wall painting at the Escuela de Bellas Artes.
