Benito Quinquela Martin was born in Argentina, La Boca , probably on March 1 , 1890 , and died on January 28 , 1997 in Buenos Aires. His real name was Benito Juan Marin, he was an Argentine painter. His birthday could not be determined precisely as he was abandoned on March 20, 1890 at an orphanage with a note saying: ¨This kid has been baptized , and his name is Benito Juan Martin. From his physical appearence, the nuns who found him deduced that he might be around twenty days old ; so March 1 is regarded as his birthday. When he was seven years old Manuel and Justina Molina de Chinchella adopted him. His painting provides an excellent portrait of Buenos Aires city. He is considered the painter of ports and is one of the country's most popular artists. His paintings show port activity, vigor and harshness of daily life in the Port of La Boca, Buenos Aires.
