Roberto Domingo Fallola began his artistic training in Paris with his father, the painter Francisco Domingo Marqués. There he also knew first hand the French impressionism. In 1906 he moved to Madrid and entered the Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, where he was a disciple of Antonio Muñoz Degraín. He took part in national and foreign exhibitions, obtaining the third medal in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1908, second in the 1910 edition and first in 1915. In 1911 he had a solo exhibition in Rome, at the Fine Arts Pavilion. He also showed his work continuously in several Spanish and London galleries, such as Baillie and Tooth. A costumbrist painter, he specialized in bullfighting themes, which brought him great fame and prestige. His work is characterized by the expressiveness of the stain and the stroke, capturing the reality through a sensitivity that connects with the tradition of Goya, Lucas and Alenza. The spontaneity, fluidity and dynamism of his work is largely due to his ability to memorize reality in his retina and then transfer it to the painting with his own nuance, simplifying the lines and diluting the colors. This vibrant emotion was also appreciated by great international artists of the time, such as John Singer Sargent and Gerald Kelly, who were among his clients. Roberto Domingo is represented in the Prado Museum, the Fine Arts Museum of Granada, the Provincial Museum of Cadiz, the Municipal Museum of Madrid, the Bullfighting Museum of Las Ventas in Madrid, La Maestranza in Seville, Valencia and Viana de Cega (Valladolid), the Drawing Museum of Castillo de Larrés (Huesca) and the Havana and Hemingway Museums of Cuba, among many others.
