PANCHO FIERRO
Pintor. Nació en Lima en 1807. Hijo de Nicolás Fierro y de Carmen Palas. Mulato de talento intuitivo, desarrollo muy pronto su aptitud para representar sobre el papel personas y objetos. Y, en tanto que para ganar el sustento pintaba letreros comerciales y carteles de toros, o moldeaba rústicas figuras destinadas a los "nacimientos", sus mejores dotes eran valoradas en acuarelas que retrataban personajes y costumbres de su tiempo que nos han transmitido la imagen de un ambiente tan pintoresco como amable. Su técnica, no muy depurada, la gracia y un moderado humorismo con que presenta sus temas resaltan su originalidad y amenguan sus defectos. Aunque no acostumbraba firmar sus acuarelas su nombre ha definido un estilo inconfundible. Se estima que llegó a pintar 1200 escenas de la vida limeña, entre las que no podían faltar las de motivo taurino que hoy son documento invalorable para la interpret ación de la tauromaquia nacional de su tiempo. Murió el 28 de Julio de 1879 dejando un extraordinario legado artístico y de importancia histórica que constituyen hoy diversas colecciones entre las que destacan las que se encuentran en el Museo de Arte de Lima, la del Museo de Etnografía de Leningrado y la que conserva el Hispanic Society de Nueva York. Una cabal evaluación de la obra de Pancho Fierro ha sido publicada por Manuel Cisneros Sánchez (1975) con un vasto despliegue de reproducciones en color.

I hate to recommend another site but unfortunately I don't know how to use the Yahoo! search engine effectively.
Go to www.google.com and click on Advanced Search to the right. Select the language Spanish and put the name of Pancho Fierro in quotes;
"Pancho Fierro"
I don't know what the word for biography is in Spanish but that should get you started.
