Eduardo De Zamacois by Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta is a portrait painting created by the Spanish artist Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta. The artwork depicts Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala, a prominent Spanish painter and writer of the 19th century, who was known for his genre scenes and contributions to the art world during his time. Raimundo de Madrazo, a celebrated portraitist and member of the renowned Madrazo family of painters, captured Zamacois with remarkable detail and elegance, showcasing his skill in rendering textures, expressions, and the overall character of his subjects.

The painting is believed to have been created during the late 19th century, a period when both Madrazo and Zamacois were active in the European art scene. Raimundo de Madrazo was known for his refined and academic style, which was influenced by his training at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid and his exposure to French academic painting during his time in Paris. His works often reflect a mastery of light, color, and composition, qualities that are evident in this portrait.

Eduardo Zamacois y Zabala, the subject of the painting, was a cousin of Raimundo de Madrazo. He was born in Bilbao, Spain, in 1841 and became a well-known artist in his own right. Zamacois specialized in small-scale genre paintings, often depicting humorous or satirical scenes from everyday life. His works were highly regarded for their attention to detail and lively characterizations. He studied at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando and later in Paris, where he became associated with other Spanish artists, including Marià Fortuny and Raimundo de Madrazo.

The portrait by Madrazo captures Zamacois in a formal yet approachable manner, reflecting the close relationship between the two artists. The painting is an example of Madrazo's ability to convey the personality and status of his sitters while maintaining a sense of intimacy. The precise date of the painting's creation is not documented, but it likely falls within the period when both artists were active in Paris, a hub for artistic exchange during the 19th century.

The current location of the painting is not specified in available records, and further details about its provenance or exhibition history are not widely documented. However, the work remains an important example of Raimundo de Madrazo's portraiture and a testament to the artistic connections within the Madrazo and Zamacois families.
