Details

Antonio Puga was a Spanish painter, assistant to Eugenio Cajes in the decoration of the Buen Retiro, a pleasure palace on the eastern border of Madrid. Here, in the Hall of Realms, the principal ceremonial room, two compositions were assigned to Cajes, but he died only four months after he started to work; his canvases were completed by his assistants Antonio Puga and Luis Fernández. A splendid if tiny number of rough-hewn scenes of everyday life has been attributed to Antonio Puga, although his authorship is far from certain. //
