George Owen Wynne Apperley (1884-1960). British painter, described as “one of the finest” of the late Romantic artists.
In 1917 he moved to Spain, abandoning his British wife, Hilda Pope, and family, and established in the district of Granada. He was forced to leave Spain in 1932, when his conservative political stance regarding the Second Spanish Republic led to the bombing of his house. He moved with his second family, his muse and later wife, Enriqueta Contreras and their two sons, to Tangier, Morocco.
