If a Spanish painter calls himself Velazquez, even though he is neither related nor related by blood to the famous Diego Velázquez, and practices free imitation of his paintings, he may well get the reputation of being an impostor and forger. This was the fate of the Spanish late romantic Eugenio Lucas Velazquez y Padilla, who lived from 1817 to 1870.
"our" Velazquez had nothing to do with the famous court painter Philipp IV of Spain, who came from Seville. Eugenio Velazquez was born in Madrid as the son of simple bourgeoisie and first learned the trade of a chest carpenter. Later he attended the Royal Academy of Fine Arts "San Fernando" in Madrid together with José de Madrazo. The Classicism taught there, however, did not appeal to him as much as the paintings of the Spanish masters in the Prado - namely the works of Goya and Velazquez the young man tried to copy. Later he was to produce "his own variations" of these paintings, for example from a different angle. His own paintings were at least of such quality that he was entrusted - among other artists - with the painting of the ceiling panels in the new Teatro Real, inaugurated in 1850. Queen Isabella II appointed him court painter and awarded him the Order of Charles III. From then on, the Spanish "upper ten thousand" were among his clientele. His ceiling paintings will, of course, no longer be seen in the Teatro Real: closed in 1925, the opera house was not reopened until 1966, when it was completely renovated.

In the 1860s Eugenio Velazquez made several trips to Paris, where he became acquainted with and appreciated the painting style of Delacroix , among other things. An anecdote reports that he discovered a painting in the Paris Louvre that was attributed to the famous Diego Velazquez, but in reality was painted by Eugenio Velazquez - apparently one of his "variations". It is said that he then began to use this name himself. Until then, according to contemporary sources, he had mostly been known as Eugenio Padilla. The truth is probably much more prosaic. Many Spaniards used (and continue to use) the name of their father and mother as family names. If Senor Sanchez married Senorita Gonzalez, the son was allowed to call himself "Sanchez y Gonzalez" - this was especially true in aristocratic circles when the mother's family was held in higher esteem. Eugenia Velazquez y Padilla may well have called herself "only" Padilla at the beginning of his career, the other name would have been more of a hindrance - Eugenio would never have been "the" painter Velazquez!
When Eugenio Velazquez y Padilla died in Madrid in 1870, he left behind countless historical scenes, war and battle paintings, frescoes, wall and ceiling paintings.
