- Title

- Abstract
This paper reviews the architecturally themed paintings by painter and architect Joaquín Vaquero Palacios (Oviedo, 1900-Madrid, 1998). In these paintings, architecture is not only present in the theme, but also in the way they are approached through a particular handling of lines, planes and volumes. His facet as a painter can be seen in his sense of colour, concern for the subject and his deep lyricism. The circumstance of his wandering lifestyle around Europe and America allowed him to paint a whole range of different architectures, from ancient Aztec and Mayan pyramids through to modern New York skyscrapers. Painting also enabled him to keep in touch with architecture at times in his life when travelling and changes of residence prevented him from having a working architecture studio.
