About the Item

DANIEL HERNÁNDEZ Peruvian, 1856 - 1932 FAR AWAY THOUGHTS signed "Daniel Hernandez" (lower right) oil on canvas 27-1/2 x 19-1/4 inches (70 x 49 cm.) framed: 39-3/8 x 31-1/8 inches (100 x 79 cm.) Daniel Hernández Morillo, born on August 1, 1856 in Salcabamba and died on October 23, 1932 in Lima, was a prominent Peruvian painter recognized for his work in the academic style. Most of his artistic career was spent in Paris, where he made important contributions to the art world and had the honor of being the first Director of the National School of Fine Arts. Born to a Peruvian mother and Spanish father, Daniel was brought to Lima when he was only four years old. At the age of fourteen, he began his artistic training under the guidance of Leonardo Barbieri, an Italian-born artist and daguerreotypist who had worked as a portrait painter in California during the Gold Rush. After Barbieri's departure from Lima, Hernández took control of his art classes. In 1872, his remarkable interpretation of the "Death of Socrates" caught the attention of President Manuel Pardo's government, earning him recognition and a scholarship to study in Europe. Consequently, he embarked on his voyage to Europe in 1874. Upon arriving in Paris, he met his compatriot Ignacio Merino, who advised him to continue his studies in Rome. Following this advice, Daniel moved to Rome, where he lived for nine years and collaborated with prominent artists such as Marià Fortuny. In 1883, he returned to Paris and was elected President of the "Society of Spanish Painters", an association of Spanish-speaking artists residing in the city. Additionally, he was a member of the prestigious "Société des Artistes Français" and regularly exhibited his work at the Salon. In 1912, Daniel undertook a trip to Montevideo, Buenos Aires and Rome to exhibit his art. In 1918, upon his return to Paris, his younger brother Inocencio, who held an influential position in the Dominican Order, probably played a role in President José Pardo's decision to invite Daniel to participate in the establishment of a new art school. . This led to the creation of the "Escuela Nacional Superior Autónoma de Bellas Artes" in 1919, with Daniel Hernández Morillo as its first director until his death in 1932. In his honor, a district near his birthplace, Pampas, bears his name.
