Paz Pardo de Tavera
Maria de la Paz Pardo de Tavera y Gorricho was a Philippine mestiza and wife of Filipino painter Juan Luna. Though born in the Philippines, she and her family moved to Paris some time after her father Félix's death in 1864. She had two children with Luna: Andrés and María de la Paz, though the latter died when she was three years old.
On 22 September 1892, after being accused of adultery, de Tavera was shot by Luna in their atelier in alongside her mother Juliana Gorricho and her brother Félix, with the latter surviving the incident. De Tavera died from her gunshot wounds less than two weeks later.
