Elías Tormo y Monzó (1869–1957) was a Spanish art historian.
Life
Tormo was born in Albaida (Valencia), on 23 June 1869.[1] He studied Law in Valencia and Arts in Madrid, becoming a professor at the University of Santiago de Compostela. In 1903 he moved to Universidad Central (now Complutense University of Madrid) to take up the first professorship in Art History ever to be established in Spain. He eventually became rector of the university.[2]
Together with Manuel Gómez-Moreno Martínez he founded the journal Archivo Español de Arte y Arqueología.[2]
He was a member of the Real Academia de la Historia and of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando.[2] He also served in public office as a parliamentarian (1903-5, 1907-23, 1927-30, 1949-52), and as Minister of Public Instruction and Fine Arts (1930-31).[2]
In 1924 Alfonso XIII did away with the distinction between state and personal arms by combining the two. Elías Tormo was the author of the reform, he took the arms of Charles III, substituted the Aragon quarter with Jerusalem, and replaced the escutcheon with the state arms. [3]
He died in Madrid on 21 December 1957.[1]
