Daniel Grao
Daniel Grao Valle (born 17 February 1976) is a Spanish actor. He is known for his performances in television series such as '' Luna, el misterio de Calenda'' or ''Sin identidad'', or his lead role in the biopic miniseries about Mario Conde. Biography Born in 1976 in Sabadell, Catalonia, he discovered acting thanks to a high school teacher in Caldes de Montbui, where he lived with his family, becoming a member of an amateur theatrical group. Grao had his debut as a television actor in the Catalan regional broadcaster TV3, with performances in shows such as '' Temps de silenci'' and ''El cor de la ciutat''. A native Spanish-language speaker, he declared in 2020 that he reportedly moved to Madrid because of TV3, as in his first performances in the channel's shows "the accent was not on the quality of the performance but on the way he pronounced the 's's" (in Catalan). His debut in a feature film came in 2003 with a minor role in '' La flaqueza del bolchevique''. While he had p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Grão Vasco
Vasco Fernandes (c. 1475 – c. 1542), better known as ''Grão Vasco'' ("The Great Vasco"), was one of the main Portuguese Renaissance painters. Life According to local tradition, the painter Vasco Fernandes, known as ''Grão Vasco'' (the Great Vasco) from the 17th century onwards, was born somewhere in the area around Viseu, but there is no document recording his place or date of birth, nor the names of his parents. The oldest chronological reference to his name, dating back to the financial year of 1501–1502, refers to him as already married and working as a painter in Viseu, which allows us to infer that he was born around 1475. Between the end of 1542 and the beginning of the next year, as is indirectly confirmed by some documents, he died in this same city, leaving behind a widow and two daughters. To help us reconstruct his family background, as well as his economic and artistic life, there are roughly fifty written documents, mostly kept at the Viseu District Archives an ...
