Pedro José Figueroa was a Colombian portrait painter. Figueroa received his first painting lessons at the studio of Pablo Antonio García. While the work of Figueroa was not numerous they are interesting in that the painting and the painter himself lived at a crucial time when a colony was being shaped into a republic.
Figueroa’s portraits give us a sense of who was important and influential to the period and place.
