Works by the Spanish oil painter Luis Ricardo Farero
Luis Ricardo Ferrero (1851 – 1896), Duke of Labranzano, Spanish painter.
Born in Granada, he began his career in the Spanish Navy but abandoned the disappointment of his parents. He walked all the way to Paris, where he studied art, chemical and mechanical engineering.
Falero was particularly interested in astronomy and incorporated celestial constellations into many of his works, such as "The Marriage of comets" and "Double Stars". His interest and knowledge of astronomy also led him to present the work of Camille Flammarion.
In 1896, the year of his death, Modhavi sued Farero as his father. The lawsuit alleges that Farero seduced Harvey when he was 17 years old, first as a maid and then as a model. When he found out she was pregnant, he fired her. She won the case and received five shillings a week to support their children.
Falero died at University College London Hospital at the age of 45.
