Ismael González de la Serna or Ismael del la Serna (Guadix, Granada, June 6, 1898-Paris, November 30, 1968) was a Spanish painter of the first half of the 20th century.
Born in Guadix but raised in Granada, the city where he spent his childhood and adolescence, and in whose school years he made friends with Federico García Lorca and Manuel Ángeles Ortiz, and as an adult, with Juan Cristóbal, Falla and Andrés Segovia.
In the Prado he practiced as a copyist for El Greco, Titian, El Bosco and Francisco de Zurbarán.
On September 28, 1933, he married Susana in Cannes, who was Zervos' first wife, with whom he traveled to Spain from Bilbao to Madrid and from here to Granada in 1933. In 1934 he was a witness at the marriage of Georgette and César Vallejo.
There is news of two anthological exhibitions after his death, one in 1968 at the Museum of Modern Art in the City of Paris, and another in Spain in 1976, organized by the bank of Granada, a city in which he has dedicated a street.
