AURELI TOLOSA Y ALSINA (Barcelona, 1861 - 1938). "Rural landscape with church". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. The frame has a loss in the lower left corner. Size: 105 x 70 cm; 121 x 91 cm (frame). Tolosa y Alsina was a disciple first of the French master and painter Justin Simon and, later, of the master Modest Urgell. From his youth he was noted for his technical skill and his inspiration, especially in the field of landscape painting, which is confirmed by his enormous collection. He found numerous clients and powerful admirers among the Catalan and Spanish bourgeoisie and aristocracy, and worked on the decoration of bourgeois houses, such as the Palace of the Count of Figols and the Casa del Senyor Vitellin in the Plaça de Catalunya, as well as decorating the new headquarters of the Banco Americano. His popularity among the bourgeoisie made him much in demand as a private painting master; he thus had a large number of disciples and attained a high social standing. He took part in various art competitions and exhibitions in Barcelona, where he was awarded several prizes. His work includes paintings of landscapes and vases of flowers, but it was his fan paintings that earned him the status of a neat painter and excellent decorator. Also worthy of note are his imitations of antique paintings, as well as the tapestry, enamel and gilding of various works that he painted in his studio in the Plaza de Letamendi, in the city of Barcelona. He became very popular on the peninsula, and specialised newspapers such as La Esfera: la ilustración mundial or La Ilustración Artística, among others, often mentioned him as a great master. His presence in exhibitions and competitions at the national level was frequent and he was often awarded prizes. For example, he took part in the General Exhibition of Fine Arts in Barcelona in 1894, the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid in 1930 and even in an exhibition of Spanish products held in Melilla in 1916. Although he painted individually, he was a member of the Artistic and Literary Society of Catalonia, based in the Sala Parés, which organised annual exhibitions in which its members - Catalan painters such as Modest Urgell, Joaquim Mir and José Masriera - exhibited their work. He also often collaborated with the Sala Busquets in Passeig de Gràcia, also in Barcelona. As has been said, he was a highly valued figure at local and national level, and was awarded numerous prizes, including the following: General Exhibition of Fine Arts of 1894. Painting Section Prize at the Exhibition of Plants and Flowers in 1895. 1st Class Medal. International Furniture Exhibition of 1924. Medal of Honour.

The present canvas shows a landscape worked in depth, with achieved perspective, perfectly defined in colours and shades. Its colour, brushstroke, theme, composition and general vision are typical of Aureli Tolosa: his natures are emotional, in them he pours his feeling, as well as in the peasants who always populate them. Tolosa y Alsina was initially a disciple of the French master and painter Justin Simon and later of the master Modest Urgell. From his youth he was noted for his technical skill and his inspiration, especially in the field of landscape painting, which is borne out by his enormous collection. He found numerous clients and powerful admirers among the Catalan and Spanish bourgeoisie and aristocracy, and worked on the decoration of bourgeois houses, such as the Palace of the Count of Figols and the Casa del Senyor Vitellin in the Plaça de Catalunya, as well as decorating the new headquarters of the Banco Americano. His popularity among the bourgeoisie made him much in demand as a private painting master; he thus came to have a large number of disciples and attained a high social standing. He took part in various art competitions and exhibitions in Barcelona, where he was awarded several prizes. His work includes paintings of landscapes and vases of flowers, but it was his fan paintings that earned him the status of a neat painter and excellent decorator. Also worthy of note are his imitations of antique paintings, as well as the tapestry, enamel and gilding of various works that he painted in his studio in the Plaza de Letamendi, in the city of Barcelona. He became very popular on the peninsula, and specialised newspapers such as La Esfera: la ilustración mundial or La Ilustración Artística, among others, often mentioned him as a great master. His presence in exhibitions and competitions at the national level was frequent and he was often awarded prizes. For example, he took part in the General Exhibition of Fine Arts in Barcelona in 1894, the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid in 1930 and even in an exhibition of Spanish products held in Melilla in 1916. Although he painted individually, he was a member of the Artistic and Literary Society of Catalonia, based in the Sala Parés, which organised annual exhibitions in which its members - Catalan painters such as Modest Urgell, Joaquim Mir and José Masriera - exhibited their work. He also often collaborated with the Sala Busquets in Passeig de Gràcia, also in Barcelona. As has been said, he was a highly valued figure at local and national level, and was awarded numerous prizes, including the following: General Exhibition of Fine Arts of 1894. Painting Section Prize at the Exhibition of Plants and Flowers in 1895. 1st Class Medal. International Furniture Exhibition of 1924. Medal of Honour.

AURELI TOLOSA Y ALSINA (Barcelona, 1861 - 1938). "Landscape". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 112 x 220 cm; 159 x 281 cm (frame). This canvas shows a landscape worked in depth, with an accomplished perspective, perfectly defined in colors and shades. Its color, brushstroke, subject matter, composition and general vision are typical of Aureli Tolosa, of his elegant landscapes, his emotional and evocative natures, which reflect not only the environment but also the artist's own temperament. In this image the artist organizes the compositional view in two registers, markedly horizontal, giving the sky a great prominence. In the center we see several figures spread out in the distance, reinforcing the monumental dimension of nature as opposed to the smallness of humanity. Tolosa y Alsina was initially a disciple of the French master and painter Justin Simon and, later, of the master Modest Urgell. From his youth he stood out for his technical prowess and inspiration, especially in the field of landscape, which is confirmed in his huge collection. He found among the bourgeoisie and the Catalan and Spanish aristocracy numerous clients and powerful admirers, he worked in the decoration of bourgeois houses, such as the Palace of the Count of Figols or the House of the Lord Vitellin, in the same Plaza de Cataluña, and also decorate the new headquarters of the American Bank. His popularity among the bourgeoisie made him in great demand as a private painting teacher; he came to have a large number of disciples and reached a high social position and consideration. He participated in several art contests and exhibitions in Barcelona, where he was awarded several times. Within his work, his paintings of landscapes and flower vases stand out, but it was his paintings of fans that gave him the category of a neat painter and excellent decorator. It is also worth mentioning the imitations of antique paintings, as well as the painting of tapestries, enamel and gilding of several works that he made in his workshop in the Letamendi square, in the city of Barcelona. He became very popular at the peninsular level, and specialized newspapers such as La Esfera: la ilustración mundial or La Ilustración Artística, among others, often mentioned him as a great master. His presence in exhibitions and competitions at the state level was frequent and he was often awarded prizes. Thus, for example, he participated in the General Exhibition of Fine Arts in Barcelona in 1894, the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid in 1930 and even in an exhibition of Spanish products held in Melilla in 1916. Although he painted individually, he was part of the Artistic and Literary Society of Catalonia, based in the Sala Parés, which organized annual exhibitions in which its members - Catalan painters such as Modest Urgell, Joaquim Mir or José Masriera - exhibited their work. Likewise, he often collaborated with the Sala Busquets in Paseo de Gracia, also in Barcelona. As has been said, he was a highly valued figure both locally and nationally, and was awarded numerous prizes, among them: General Exhibition of Fine Arts of 1894. Painting Section Award, Exhibition of Plants and Flowers of 1895. 1st Class Medal. International Furniture Exhibition of 1924. Medal of Honor.

AURELI TOLOSA Y ALSINA (Barcelona, 1861 - 1938). "Landscape". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Measurements: 112 x 220 cm; 159 x 281 cm (frame). This canvas shows a landscape worked in depth, with an accomplished perspective, perfectly defined in colors and shades. Its color, brushstroke, subject matter, composition and general vision are typical of Aureli Tolosa, of his elegant landscapes, his emotional and evocative natures, which reflect not only the environment but also the artist's own temperament. In this image the artist organizes the compositional view in two registers, markedly horizontal, giving the sky a great prominence. In the center we see several figures spread out in the distance, reinforcing the monumental dimension of nature as opposed to the smallness of humanity. Tolosa y Alsina was initially a disciple of the French master and painter Justin Simon and, later, of the master Modest Urgell. From his youth he stood out for his technical prowess and inspiration, especially in the field of landscape, which is confirmed in his huge collection. He found among the bourgeoisie and the Catalan and Spanish aristocracy numerous clients and powerful admirers, he worked in the decoration of bourgeois houses, such as the Palace of the Count of Figols or the House of the Lord Vitellin, in the same Plaza de Cataluña, and also decorate the new headquarters of the American Bank. His popularity among the bourgeoisie made him in great demand as a private painting teacher; he thus came to have a large number of disciples and achieved a high consideration and social position. He participated in several art contests and exhibitions in Barcelona, where he was awarded several times. Within his work, his paintings of landscapes and flower vases stand out, but it was his paintings of fans that gave him the category of a neat painter and excellent decorator.
