José Jiménez Aranda (1837–1903) was a Spanish painter known for his genre scenes and historical paintings. Born in Seville, Spain, Jiménez Aranda displayed an early talent for art and received his formal training at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Santa Isabel de Hungary in Seville. Later, he continued his studies in Madrid and Paris, where he was exposed to various artistic influences.

Jiménez Aranda's work is often associated with costumbrismo, a Spanish literary and artistic movement that depicted scenes of everyday life and customs. He gained popularity for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the atmosphere of different historical periods. His genre scenes often featured Spanish life, including traditional festivals, customs, and historical events.

One of his notable paintings is "The Eavesdropper" ("El oidor"), which depicts a scene from the Spanish Golden Age. The painting showcases Jiménez Aranda's skill in portraying historical costumes and settings with accuracy, combined with a touch of humor.

Jiménez Aranda also explored historical and literary subjects in his paintings, often drawing inspiration from Spanish literature and history. His historical paintings, such as those depicting scenes from the works of Cervantes, reflected his interest in preserving and celebrating Spain's rich cultural heritage.

In addition to his success as a painter, Jiménez Aranda was involved in the cultural and artistic life of his time.
