Portrait of Francisco Mariano Corrêa de Moraes is a 1898 oil by Benedito Calixto, a Post-Impressionism work, held at São Paulo Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man with a full beard and mustache, dressed in a dark suit and white shirt with a black bow tie. He is set against a light blue background. The man's face is the main focus of the painting, with his eyes looking directly at the viewer. The artist has used oil paint to create a detailed and realistic portrait of the man. The painting is a good example of the artist's skill in capturing the likeness of his subject. The São Paulo Museum of Art is a great place to see this painting and learn more about the artist's work.
Benedito Calixto de Jesus (14 October 1853 – 31 May 1927) was a Brazilian painter.
