EDITORS COMMENTS
Claudio Lopez Bru, the Second Marquis of Comillas (1853-1925), was a prominent Spanish businessman and philanthropist of Catalan origin, whose influence extended beyond the borders of Spain during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This engraving by J. Dieguez, published in The Spanish-American Magazine in 1890, showcases the Marquis in his prime, with an air of authority and sophistication. Born in Barcelona, Claudio Lopez Bru rose to prominence in the shipping and railroad industries, becoming a major player in the Spanish economy. His business ventures included the Compañía Transatlántica Española, which connected Spain to the Americas, and the Ferrocarril de Barcelona a Granollers, a vital railway line in Catalonia. The Marquis is depicted here in a formal attire, complete with a well-groomed beard and an elegant suit. His profile view offers a glimpse into the intense focus and determination that fueled his entrepreneurial spirit. As a grandee, he was a member of the Spanish nobility, but his philanthropic efforts extended far beyond his own social circle. He was known for his generosity, particularly in the areas of education and healthcare, and his contributions significantly impacted the lives of many in Spain and beyond. This colored engraving, published in The Spanish-American Magazine, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the life of a remarkable figure from Spain's history. Claudio Lopez Bru, the Second Marquis of Comillas, remains an enduring symbol of Spanish business acumen and philanthropy during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
