José Ferreira Chaves CvSE was a Portuguese painter of the 19th century.
He did not pursue an artistic career professionally, entering the bureaucracy, as an employee in the Secretariat of the Lisbon City Council, where he rose from Aspirant to 3rd Officer, 2nd Officer and 1st Officer, until, in 1890, he was appointed Director-General of the Treasury Services.
He managed to harmonize his official life with his artistic tendencies, where he achieved high and honorable mentions. He dedicated himself especially to flower painting, still life and portraiture. He was a member of the Sociedade Promotora de Belas Artes, in whose exhibitions he almost always participated, winning several medals. At the Porto International Exhibition in 1865, he received an Honorable Mention, and at another Exhibition in the same city, a Gold Medal.[1] On October 27, 1868, he was named Academician of Merit of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Lisbon, being elected Vice-President in 1894 and successively reelected in several years.
