Pere Ysern Alié was a disciple of Pere Borrell del Caso in his academy, where with Ramón Riera he formed the generating nucleus of the group "El Rovell de l'Ou". He was presented for the first time at the General Exhibition of Fine Arts in Barcelona in 1894, and in 1896 he traveled to Rome, where he stayed for two years and completed his training with Ramón Tusquets. On his return to Barcelona, in 1898, he took part in the Municipal Exhibition of Fine Arts. The following year he settled in Paris, where he exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français in 1900. He was also a regular participant in the Salon des Indépendants. A clear sign of his international success was his participation, in 1901, in the International Exhibition of Saint Petersburg, where the Czar of Russia bought one of his paintings. Settled in Paris, he made occasional visits to Barcelona, where he exhibited his work at the Sala Parés in 1901 and 1903, and participated in the collective exhibition of the Association of Catalan Painters and Sculptors in 1905. In 1927 he returned to Spain, and from then on his presence in Barcelona and Catalan competitions was constant, and his painting was finally valued in our country. Today he is mainly represented in the MACBA, as well as in the Luxembourg Museum in Paris, the National Art Museum of Catalonia, the La Caixa Foundation and various private collections.
