Also known as
Benjamín Palencia, Benjamín Palencia Pérez
Benjamín Palencia Pérez (1894–1980) was a Spanish painter, draftsman, and illustrator born in Barrax, Albacete. He is associated with the Escuela de Vallecas, which Spanish- and French-language biographical sources describe him as founding with sculptor Alberto Sánchez Pérez. That context places Palencia within a twentieth-century Spanish effort to reconsider the landscapes around Madrid and Castile through modern art. Across the available sources, Castilian landscape emerges as a defining subject, while authority and bibliographic records also document his activity as an illustrator, including credited book illustrations. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on paintings, drawings, works on paper, prints, and illustrated publications rather than on only one type of object. Appraisily’s matched auction index records substantial public-market activity under several name forms, making careful identity matching important. Accents, shortened signatures, titles, dates, media, and documentary provenance should all be checked when connecting a work or auction result to this artist.

Common works and media
The collected sources identify Palencia principally as a painter, draftsman, and illustrator. Appraisal and auction contexts may therefore include paintings, drawings, other works on paper, prints, and illustrated books. Castilian landscapes are especially relevant to his documented artistic identity. Broader auction-feed labels such as sculpture, mixed media, decorative art, and editions should be treated as taxonomy signals rather than proof that each category is characteristic of his work.
Market and appraisal context
Public auction data on Appraisily includes paintings, works on paper, and prints, with broader category labels also appearing in the matched feed. For appraisal, the strongest comparisons are works aligned in medium, size, date or career period, subject, condition, and attribution. Signature or inscription details, edition information, restoration, provenance, exhibition history, and catalogue references can materially affect how a lot compares with the broader record. Recent results should be compared on a like-for-like basis because reported totals may handle buyer premiums and fees differently. The current index is based on public auction records; private sales, incomplete feeds, and later attribution changes may be absent. These records are evidence for comparison, not a stand-alone authentication or price guarantee.
