Francisco de la Torre (San Miguel el Alto, Jalisco, 1885 – ca. 1930) began his studies at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes (National School of Fine Arts) in 1903, where he graduated in 1909. In 1912, he joined the school as a professor. Little is known about his life, and only three of his works have been currently identified: one found in the Museo Nacional de Arte (National Museum of Art) and two works that are part of the Juan Rafael Coronel Rivera´s collection.
