Oliveira Martins is considered one of the key figures in the contemporary history of Portugal. His works influenced many generations of writers, such as António Sérgio (1883–1969), António Sardinha (1887–1925) or the philosopher Eduardo Lourenço (1923–2020).
He married on 10 March 1865 Vitória Mascarenhas Barbosa, without issue.
