He was a Spanish painter, who often worked in the costumbrismo style. He also cultivated portrait painting, excelling as an example emblematic of the romantic genre that painted his brother Gustavo Adolfo. His first art lessons, came from his father. To supplement his income, he worked as a cartoonist and illustrator for several publications (a series of pornographic satirical drawings, have been attributed to him).
VALERIANO BECQUER 3/3 – Outstanding portraitist, he performed works such as The best known carlista painter and his family and his work (the portrait of his brother Gustavo Adolfo Becquer), a work that served as a model for the bust of the group that pays tribute to the poet in the square of Bécquer (in Maria Luisa park in Seville). Portrait as a motif was also used in the 100 pesetas notes used in the second half of the twentieth century.
