Daniel Florencio O’LearyOscar Rodríguez Naranjo

Daniel Florencio O’Leary appears in dark military dress with gold epaulettes, facing front with a composed, distant gaze. An Irish officer who served as Simón Bolívar’s aide-de-camp, he played a central role during the Liberator’s stay in Bucaramanga. This oil portrait (c. 1950) highlights his disciplined bearing and suggests the quiet authority of a meticulous chronicler of the independence campaigns.
