Spanish Naming Conventions[edit]

Would not this lady’s name be referred to as López González (as one term) rather than simply as González? 67.160.77.95 (talk) 11:19, 6 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Either López or López Gonzalez. González is NOT a last name, it is a second, less important, surname. Second surnames are only more used if the first surname is much more common, as in José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, or Pablo Ruiz Picasso. 83.236.183.138 (talk) 08:46, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

La Fuensanta is a portrait painting by Spanish artist Julio Romero de Torres depicting Maria Teresa López González, one of his models. The painting was made in the autumn of 1929, when Torres completed another two artworks, La Chiquita Piconera and Bodegas Cruz Conde. González was one of Torres's favourite models, having first sat for him at the age of fourteen. According to Sotheby's, the work has been "proclaimed as a quintessential rendition of Andalucian beauty", and it was depicted for 25 years on the 100 peseta banknote. The work was exhibited at the Ibero-American Exposition in Seville in 1930, and is now in a private collection.

What does "Fuensanta" mean?[edit]

It would be helpful for non-Spanish speakers if the article explained what "Fuensanta" means, please? Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 01:58, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for adding the explanation. I thought "santa" would mean something holy or saint-related. Enjoyed reading the article. It is a very striking painting. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 03:13, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
