TKADLIK. See Kadlik.
TOBAR, Don ALONSO MIGUEL DE,
born at Higuera, near Aracena, in 1678,
died in Madrid in 1758. Spanish school;
pupil in Seville of Juan Antonio Fajardo, a
mediocre painter; afterwards improved his
style by copying the works of Murillo, and
became the most noted of his imitators.
Probably much of his work passes under
the name of his great exemplar. In 1720
he became a familiar of the Holy Office,
and in the same year executed for the Cathedral
of Seville his most famous original
work, Nuestra Señora del Consuelo (Virgin
of Consolation), which won him the favour
of Philip V. and the appointment (1729) of
court painter. Other works: Madonna, Virgin
appearing to St. Francis, Academia S.
Fernando, Madrid; Virgin in Contemplation,
Portrait of an Infanta, Heirs of Don
Sebastian, Pau; St. Joseph and Infant Jesus,
Berlin Museum. Copies after Murillo:
Portrait of Murillo, Museo del Prado, Madrid;
Virgen de la Faja, Cadiz Museum;
Good Shepherd, Infant St. John, S. Isidoro,
