Spanish painter (1846-1929)
Ángel Lizcano Monedero y Esteban (24 November 1846 – 31 July 1929) was a Spanish painter and illustrator. He specialized in Costumbrista and historical scenes.
Biography
Monedero was born in Alcázar de San Juan (Castile-La Mancha). When he was seven, his family moved to Madrid to open a bookstore. At the age of fourteen, he began his art studies at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, where he graduated with honors. He continued his education by copying the Old Masters at the Museo del Prado.
In 1869, he received a stipend from Manuel Antonio, Marqués de Bedmar, to complete his studies in Italy. Later, he toured much of Spain and participated in the National Exposition of Fine Arts, where he sold a painting to King Amedeo I. All together, he received four medals at various expositions from 1876 to 1887. For many years, he continued to work as an itinerant artist.
He also gained a reputation as an illustrator and engraver, providing images for a wide variety of magazines, books and posters; over 800 in all.

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
