PEDRO BORRELL DEL CASO (Puigcerdà, 1835 - Barcelona, 1910). "In the painter's studio". Oil on panel. Signed in the upper right corner. Measurements: 60 x 73 cm; 85 x 98 (frame). Painter, draftsman, watercolorist and pedagogue, Pere Borrell was formed in the School of La Lonja of Barcelona, and developed a work centered in the landscape and inspired directly in the nature. A militant realist, he transmitted to his disciples his way of conceiving art and his technique of painting from life. He twice refused a professorship at La Lonja and finally, in 1868, founded his own private academy, where for more than thirty years artists of the stature of Román Ribera, Ricard Canals, Josep Maria Sert, Adrià Gual, Mariano Pidelaserra and Xavier Nogués, among many others, were trained. Borrell participated in numerous group exhibitions in Barcelona, Madrid and Paris. A great portraitist, sober and direct, he also cultivated landscape, religious and genre painting, with a style influenced by the Nazarenes. He is currently represented in the Bank of Spain Collection, the MACBA and the Cerdà de Pugicerdà.
