Miguel Ângelo Lupi

Galanteria, by Miguel Lupi (1881).

Miguel Ângelo Lupi (Lisbon, Portugal May 8, 1826 - Lisbon, February 26, 1883) was a Portuguese Romantic painter. He was a professor of historical painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lisbon.

In some of his finest portraits, like the Portrait of the Duke of Ávila and Bolama (1880), at the Chiado Museum, in Lisbon, his work, probably because of his knowledge of the French Realist and Naturalist painters, like Courbet, deviate from his Portuguese contemporaries, approaching the new trends of his time. Despite the fundamental lines of his work, focusing on the portrayal of the rich and famous, Lupi also painted interior scenes, scenes of family life and themes of historic nature, as the Marquis de Pombal at work examining the project of reconstruction of Lisbon.
