Mariano Oliver Aznar is one of the most outstanding painters to emerge from Zaragoza at the turn of the 20th century. In his later years he worked in Madrid as a portrait artist. In Zaragoza he was seen as a good teacher: he trained numerous painters who began their careers with the new century, including Francisco Marín Bagüés. His works stood out at the Zaragoza Exhibition of Fine Arts and Art Industries of 1898 and he obtained an honourable mention at the 1899 edition. He earned similar distinctions at the National Exhibition of 1904 and the Hispano-French Exposition of 1908, all of which earned him a good reputation at local level.
