Ricardo Macarrón Jaime (1926–2004), was a Spanish painter and portraitist. [1] He is known for his court paintings for European royalty and portraits of aristocracy, [2] including four generations of the House of Bourbon, [3] and Victoria Eugenia of Battenberg.
Ricardo Macarrón Jaime was born April 9, 1926, in Madrid, Spain. [1] [4] His father Juan Macarrón Despierto owned a workshop for art restorers and carvers. [4]
Macarrón attended Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, studying under Joaquín Valverde Lasarte . [1] [5] [4] While he was a student he made his first portrait of artist Joaquín García Donaire in 1943. [4] Macarrón won many art awards while he was a student. [4] He met his future wife Alicia Iturrioz in college, where she also attended too. [6] Together they had two daughters. [6]
He had three marked periods of style in his paintings – from 1955 to 1960 he was working with a cubist influence; from 1960 to 1968 his work was darker and emphasized "disenchantment"; and in later life in the 1990s the work reflected his strong technical skills and techniques. [4] Macarrón had painted portraits of three Queens, Sofia of Spain, Elizabeth II of England, Noor of Jordan. [4] Also notable is his 1961 portrait of Carmen Cervera. [7]
Macarrón died on May 14, 2004, in Riaza, Spain. [8] He was cremated and has a memorial in Almudena cemetery in Madrid. [4] After Macarróns death, Iturrioz wrote the memoir Mi Vida con Ricardo Macarrón (2014) about their shared life experiences.
His work is found in public museum collections, including the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, [9] [10] and Biblioteca Museu Víctor Balaguer.
