BALDOMERO GILI ROIG (Lleida, 1873 - Barcelona, 1927). "Garden with sculpture of Venus". Oil on canvas. With sketch on the back. Signed in the lower right corner. Provenance: Heirs of the painter (personal collection). Never exhibited. The frame has very slight flaws. Measurements: 61 x 79 cm; 79 x 96 cm (frame). Painter, draftsman and illustrator, Baldomero Gili Roig stood out fundamentally as a landscape painter, although he also cultivated the decorative painting. He began his artistic training in Irún (Guipúzcoa), and then continued at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona and at the Special School of Painting in Madrid, where he was a disciple of Alejo Vera. Finally he completed his studies in Munich, and later in Rome thanks to a scholarship from the Diputación de Lleida. In 1924 he moved to Buenos Aires, where he continued his career with great success, dedicated to both easel painting and illustration. On his return to Spain, he settled permanently in Barcelona, where he was several times president of the Real Círculo Artístico. He collaborated with "L'Esquella de la Torratxa", as well as illustrating a "Roman Missal" and several literary works. He submitted his works to numerous exhibitions, and in the National Exhibitions he obtained honorable mention in 1895, 1897 and 1904, as well as a second medal in 1904. The same award was granted to him at the Athens Exposition of 1903 and at the International Exposition of Barcelona in 1911; five years later he obtained the first medal at the Universal Exposition of Panama. As a decorator, his frescoes in the pantheon of the Duchess of Sevillano in Guadalajara stand out. He is represented in the Prado Museum, the Jaime Morera Museum in Lleida and the Fine Arts Museums of Valencia, Badajoz and La Rioja, among others.
