FREDERIC LLOVERAS HERRERA (Barcelona, 1912 - 1983)._x000D_ "Girl at the Fountain"._x000D_ Oil on canvas. Relined._x000D_ Signed in the lower right corner._x000D_ Measurements: 118 x 88 cm; 133 x 104 cm (frame)._x000D_ Lloveras takes up here the classic theme of the water-girls, imprinting it with his particular understanding of the painting of customs, with a diaphanous palette acting in tune with a meticulous drawing. Frederic Lloveras was an outstanding painter, illustrator and watercolourist. Trained at the Cercle de Sant Lluc and the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts, he began his career painting in oils. From 1936 to 1939 he devoted himself to drawing, to which he added colour, using watercolour above all, which became his speciality, although he also made frequent use of pastel. Today he is considered one of the best watercolourists of post-war Catalonia. In 1984, the Barcelona Salon de Mayo dedicated its edition to Lloveras as a posthumous tribute. His work can be found in the Diocesan Museum of Barcelona, the Watercolour Museum in Llançà, the Julio Quesada Museum in Crevillent and the Fine Arts Museum in Santiago de Chile, among others.
