Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro (21 March 1846 - 23 January 1905) was a Portuguese artist known for his illustration, caricatures, sculpture and ceramics designs, and is considered the first Portuguese comics creator. == Life == He was a disciple of his father, the painter Manuel Maria Bordalo Pinheiro. His mother was D. Maria Augusta do Ó Carvalho Prostes and his brother the painter Columbano. He started publishing illustrations and caricatures in humoristic magazines such as ''A Berlinda'' and ''O Calcanhar de Aquiles'', frequently demonstrating a sarcastic humour with a political or social message. In 1875 he travelled to Brazil to work as an illustrator and cartoonist for the publication ''Mosquito'' (and later,another publication called ''O Besouro''), which was also employing the Italian/Brazilian illustrator Angelo Agostini, until then the unrivaled cartooning authority of Brazil. Pinheiro eventually became editor of other humorous, politically critical magazines. His fame as a caricaturist led the ''Illustrated London News'' to become one of his collaborators. He married Elvira Ferreira de Almeida in 1866 and the following year his son Manuel Gustavo Bordalo Pinheiro was born. He died on January 23, 1905 in Chiado, Lisbon. He had a Catholic funeral, which was attended by several dozen people, including prominent politicians.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.citi.pt/cultura/artes_plasticas/caricatura/bordalo_pinheiro/biografia.html )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
