JOSEP MARIA TAMBURINI DALMAU (Barcelona, 1856 - 1932). "Jesus infant", 1907. Oil on canvas. Signed in the upper right corner. Work published in "J.M. Tamburini", Jaume Soler. Caixa de Catalunya Foundation, 1989. Reproduced on page 75. Measurements: 125 x 182 cm; 130 x 187 cm (frame). Painter and art critic, and outstanding figure of the Catalan modernism, Tamburini initiated his formation in the School of La Lonja of Barcelona, to later complete his studies in Paris, with L. Bonnat, and Rome. He collaborated as a cartoonist, art critic and poet with the magazine "L'Avenç", one of the most outstanding artistic publications of Catalonia at the turn of the century. He also wrote for "La Vanguardia". As a painter, he began his career in history painting and anecdotal realism, to later evolve along the lines of symbolism, strongly influenced by English pre-Raphaelism. Recognition came in 1888, when he won a silver medal at the Universal Exposition in Barcelona. He continued to participate in official exhibitions in Barcelona and Madrid, and was again awarded at the Barcelona Exhibition in 1898, where he received the Queen Regent's Extraordinary Prize. In 1911 he received the Prize of the King and Queen of Spain. Already as a mature painter, he worked on placidly fantastic, detailed and precious themes, as well as religious themes and some portraits. He was also a member of the Board of Museums of Barcelona, advisor to the Academy of Fine Arts, professor at the School of La Lonja and co-founder of the Artistic and Literary Society of Catalonia (1911). He is represented in the MACBA, the National Museum of Art and the Library of Catalonia, the Royal Academy of Sant Jordi, the Casa Lis Museum in Salamanca and the Fine Arts Museums of Valencia and Seville, as well as in numerous private collections.

ACHILLE BATTISTUZZI (Trieste - Barcelona, 1891). "View of Barcelona".1878. Oil on canvas. Signed, dated and located in the lower right corner. Attached to the back a label of Ramoneda & Barrachina. Measurements: 90 x 131 cm; 110 x 151 cm (frame). Achile Battistuzzi was an Italian painter who lived in Barcelona for most of his life, giving the Catalan capital magnificent port and urban views. In the painting shown here, Battistuzzi's mastery of working the space in a scenographic manner is evident, naturally superimposing the mountainous landscape (the Montjuïc area) and the port of Barcelona, which can be glimpsed in the background, criss-crossed with boats. The Reales Atarazanas (Royal Shipyards) divide the seafront and the margins of the city. In this panoramic view, the artist displays his skills as a veduttist and his bold use of light. The rural area with its peasants and the port area with its fishing boats form two parallel realities. Achille Battistuzzi settled in Barcelona around 1866. He specialised in landscape paintings with urban scenes. He was one of those who introduced Venetian Vedutism to Catalonia, following the influences of Canaletto and Guardi. His work "El pla de la Boqueria" is in the collection of the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. Painted around 1873, the work was exhibited at the Universal Exhibition in Barcelona in 1888. The Barcelona History Museum has nine works by the artist, and the Historical Archive of the City of Barcelona holds two oil paintings, two watercolours, two drawings and two engravings. The Maritime Museum of Barcelona holds the canvas entitled "Vista de las Reales Atarazanas de Barcelona y de la Montaña de Montjuïc" (View of the Royal Shipyards of Barcelona and Montjuïc Mountain).
