What famous painter's last name ends with a?

Answer 1

Ignacio Zuloaga y Zabaleta is a famous painter whose last name ends with the letter "a." The artist in question (July 26, 1870 - October 31, 1945) is famous for painting such portraits as "Portrait of Anita Ramírez in Black" in 1916 and such religious paintings as "Christ of the Blood" in 1911. Despite his artistic achievements, he remains a controversial historical and political figure since he sanctioned the Falangist destruction of his own home town of Eibar, Guipuzcoa, South Basque Country, and sympathized with the Falangist destruction of Gernika ("Guernica"), Biscay, South Basque Country, on April 26, 1937.
