Student of Eduardo Cano in the School of Fine Arts of Seville until 1879. Pinelo LLul traveled to Rome where he studied with the master Villegas. He returned from Italy in 1881, alternating his production as a painter of realistic scenes of costumbrista genre with a growing dedication to landscape painting, a practice that was strongly influenced by his colleague Sánchez Perrier; an aspect that with the passage of time would make him one of the most active disseminators of the landscape work of the school of Alcalá de Guadaíra, painting scenes of the Guadalquivir, Genil and other Andalusian landscapes.In 1891 Pinelo began his American campaigns, managing to exhibit that same year in Brazil and the United States, and from 1899 in Argentina, where he managed to open a real outlet market for Spanish painting. This work of spreading Spanish art in America, as an organizer of exhibitions, was rewarded with a seat in the Academy of San Fernando and the appointment of Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Isabella the Catholic in 1913 and Commander of the Order of Charles III.
