Francisco Romano Guillemín (Tlapa, Guerrero, 1883 – Cuautla, Morelos, 1950) began his studies with the Spanish painter José Arpa in Puebla, Mexico. He later entered the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes (National School of Fine Arts), formerly the Academia de San Carlos, where he studied under mentors such as Antonio Fabrés, Germán Gedovius, and Leandro Izaguirre. He is considered one of the pioneers of Impressionism in Mexico, a movement he assimilated during his stay in Europe in 1934, influenced particularly by Seurat's pointillism. Upon his return to Mexico, he worked as a professor at the Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes (National School of Fine Arts). His painting Vista del Iztaccíhuatl is considered one of his most representative works.
