CARME CORTÈS LLADÓ (Santa Coloma de Gramanet, 1892 - Mexico City, 1979). "Still life with doll", ca.1930. Oil on canvas. Signed in the upper right corner. Measurements: 50 x 61 cm; 61 x 74 cm (frame). The painter Carme Cortès delved into the feminine universe treating it from different genres: portrait, still life, interior scenes... This "Still Life with Doll" is part of this interest in capturing the feminine world, to which she confers the melancholic tone that permeates the toys of the past. This is evidenced by the collection of paintings by the author kept in the MNAC (Museu d'Art Nacional de Catalunya, Barcelona). Carme Cortès i Lladó was a Spanish impressionist painter. At the end of the civil war she went into exile in France and in 1941 she arrived in Mexico, where she created the School of Plastic Arts at the Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León. Daughter of Antonia Lladó Cullell and Antoni Cortés Valls, she was married to the republican politician Jaume Aiguadé Miró, deputy of the Cortes of the Republic and mayor of Barcelona, and was the mother of the painter Carme Aguadé i Cortés. She began her musical studies with the maestros Enrique Granados and Felip Pedrell and gave her first concert in 1910. She later studied at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes directed by the painter Francesc d'Assís Galí and devoted herself fully to painting.

Fratelli Alinari (19th century) Circle: View of Santa Maria della Salute, Venetian Baroque Buildings, Venice, Italy, c. 1880, albumen paper print Technique: albumen paper print, mounted on Cardboard Date: c. 1880 Description: Inscribed at the bottom centre of the box. Original photograph with high sharpness of detail. An early testimony of travel photography. Around the middle of the 19th century, more and more tourists from middle-class circles travelled to Italy. At that time, photographs could only be taken with a great deal of time and expensive, unwieldy equipment. This made many tourists all the more grateful for the work of the professional photographer's studios on site to bring back a souvenir from afar for those who stayed at home or to collect as souvenirs. Famous photographers such as Carlo Naya, Giorgio Sommer or the Alinari brothers photographed the most famous sights of their home towns and went on journeys themselves to photograph the most popular destinations of their clients and offer them as albumen prints. Ancient art treasures were also photographed and offered to travellers. The high-quality photographs of sculptures and frescoes continued to make an important contribution to documenting art treasures and making them accessible to scholars from all over Europe, who previously had to rely on tracings or engravings if they could not view the original for themselves. "Fratelli Alinari" in Florence are the oldest photographic company still in existence in the world: founded in 1852, a good two decades after the French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce succeeded in capturing an image on a tin plate. The Alinari brothers were Romualdo (1830-1891), Leopoldo (1832-1865) and Guiseppe (1836-1892). Leopoldo began taking photographs in the daguerreotype era and worked for the lithographer Guiseppe Bardi, with whom he set up a joint photographic studio in 1850. In 1854, Leopoldo bought Bardi's shares and, together with his brothers, founded the Fratelli Alinari studio. It became one of the most important Italian studios of the 19th century and later one of the largest photo archives in the world, which still exists today.
