Carlos Botelho (18 September 1899, Lisbon – 18 August 1982, Lisbon) was a Portuguese painter, illustrator, comic artist, political cartoonist, satirist and caricaturist, whose works are exhibited at the Chiado Museum and at the Modern Art Center José de Azeredo Perdigão/Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in Lisbon. Botelho was one of the most relevant Portuguese artists of his generation.
During the 1930s Botelho lived abroad several times, working on the Portuguese participation in major international exhibitions.
In 1939 he won first prize at the International Contemporary Art Exposition in San Francisco, USA, which allowed him to purchase the land and later build his home-studio in Buzano, Parede.
In addition to urban landscapes, and "with the intention of freeing himself from the strict valuation that had made him a humorist", Botelho turned his attention to the social domain in works that bring him thematically and stylistically close to "the expressionist painting of the Northern European tradition, which expresses a sense of research that can be attributed to Van Gogh's Dutch period".
