Pedro Figari, 1861 to 1938, was a Uruguayan painter, lawyer, writer, and politician. Although he did not begin the practice until his later years, he is best known as an early modernist painter who emphasized capturing the everyday aspects of life in his work. In most of his pieces, he attempts to capture the essence of his home by painting local customs that he had observed in his childhood. The National School of Art, a museum in Montevideo, as well as one of the halls of the Municipal Museum of Fine Arts where some of the artists works are on permanent display, are named after Pedro Figari.
