BALDOMERO GALOFRE JIMÉNEZ (Reus, Tarragona, 1846 - Barcelona, 1902). "Rest". Oil on canvas. Signed and located ("Roma") in the lower right corner. Attached certificate of the Barbier gallery. Provenance: Bernat gallery. Measurements: 77 x 43 cm; 106 x 72 cm (frame). Exquisite scene of interior, in which a young woman lying on a chaise longe contemplates her parakeet that has just escaped from a cage that hangs from the high ceiling of the room. The lady's satin dress spills over the Persian carpet, revealing her small right foot, perched on a velvet upholstered cushion. Her black hair contrasts with the whiteness of the pearls that border it. Gem-studded gold earrings and pendants sparkle against her clear, pearly skin. In her left hand she holds a mandolin, and the score remains on the table decorated with a huge porcelain vase that holds a large-leafed plant. A silk curtain shimmers with golden reflections. The preciousness of the whole is achieved by employing a tight brushstroke and a masterful use of tones. Baldomero Galofre began his training at the Escuela de La Lonja in Barcelona, where he was a disciple of Martí Alsina, and later completed his studies in Madrid. He became known in 1866 at the Fine Arts Exhibition in Barcelona, where he would participate again in 1870, and in 1868 he participated with landscapes and studies at the Aragonese Exhibition in Zaragoza. In 1874 he obtained a pension to further his studies in Rome, where he lived for ten years. There he attended the Chigi Academy and the International Circle of Art, and met Mariano Fortuny in the last months of his life, following the stylistic guidelines of his compatriot. Back in Barcelona, in 1884 he held a personal exhibition that was very well received; Narciso Oller praised his great naturalism, and showed him as an example against history painting. Four years later, in a new individual exhibition, this time in Madrid, one of his works was acquired by the Queen Regent. In 1903, in a special room in the Museum of Barcelona, Galofre presented an important exhibition of his work. He developed a luminous and detailed style, and painted landscapes and popular scenes within the orbit of Fortuny. He was also an extraordinary draughtsman. He is currently represented in the MACBA and the Art and History Museum of Reus, among other public and private collections.
