José Arpa Perea was a Spanish painter specialising in landscapes who developed much of his work in North America. He moved from Carmona to Seville at the age of ten, where he combined his work as a broad-brush painter with evening classes at the Santa Isabel de Hungría School of Fine Arts in Seville from 1876, where he met Eduardo Cano. Between 1883 and 1886 he lived in Rome, in great need owing to the meagre grant he was awarded by the Seville provincial council, where he painted historical canvases. On his return to Seville he set up his own studio and began to be recognised, winning commissions such as the decoration of the Círculo Mercantil and the city's Casino Militar. He further developed his orientalist facet on a trip to Morocco in 1895. He lived in Mexico between 1896 and 1910, later moving to San Antonio (Texas, United States) because of the Mexican Revolution, setting up a painting academy there and receiving commissions, enjoying an economic situation that enabled him to make frequent trips to Spain, with long stays in Seville and visits to the Cantabrian coast. He spent more than 30 years in this American city. Throughout his life he was in frequent contact with the landscape painters of the well-known Alcalá de Guadaira School.
His work could be seen in numerous cities in all the countries where he lived (Seville...), and is preserved in important private collections all over the world and in prominent institutions such as the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville, the Cajasol Museum, the Museum of Huelva, the San Antonio Museum of Art (United States), the Museo Universitario Casa de los Muñecos (Puebla, Mexico), etc.
