Mariano Alonso Perez began his artistic formation in the Academy of Fine Arts of Zaragoza and continued them in the special School of painting, sculpture and engraving of Madrid. Later he moved to Rome where he attended the Academia Chigi and the Cauva and became familiar with the watercolor technique. In 1889 he settled in Paris where he frequented Ernest Meissonier's studio and where his brother, the composer Luis Alonso, lived, and where he produced various works set in the time of Louis XVI, which were in great demand internationally and allowed him to live comfortably. His participation in the Parisian exhibitions is constant; he attends the 1894 Salon with the painting La louée des servantes and in the 1895 Salon with the paintings Les droits du seigneur, set in the Paris of Louis XV, En Avant, which is the proclamation of the Protestant sect "Salvation Army" that toured Europe to evangelize it, and Vins et liqueur. At the 1896 Salon, he presented the picaresque painting entitled Pincée. From 1910 he became interested in painting social themes and in 1914, coinciding with the outbreak of World War I, he decided to return to Spain to settle in Madrid, where he died in 1930.
