Alfonso Ponce de León y Cabello (10 September 1906 – 29 September 1936) was a Spanish painter and propagandist. He was the son of jurist Juan Ponce de León y Encina. He was also associated with Federico García Lorca's theater group, La Barraca as a scene painter.[1] In 2001 the Reina Sofía curated a retrospective exhibition of his work.[2][3] He was married to fellow painter Margarita Manso.[4] A member of Falange (helming the organization's propaganda apparatus)[5] since circa 1935,[6] he was arrested and executed by Republican paramilitaries in 1936 during the Spanish Civil War.[7] His most famous work, Autorretrato (accidente) is housed in the Reina Sofia's permanent collection.
