Description

JESÚS RODRÍGUEZ CORREDOYRA DE CASTRO (Lugo, 1889 - 1939). "The storyteller", 1935. Oil on canvas. Signed. Signed and dated on the back. Measurements: 41 x 33 cm; 57,5 x 50 cm (frame). Considered the initiator of the Galician pictorial school, Corredoyra was born into a wealthy family, and in 1903 he obtained a scholarship from the Diputación de Lugo to study at the School of Fine Arts in Madrid. In the capital he would later complete his training as a disciple of Joaquín Sorolla and Cecilio Pla. He finally returned to his native Galicia, where he remained for the rest of his life, except for sporadic trips abroad. A man of tormented spirit with ideas of death, sin and the Last Judgment, with an insecure character, Corredoyra was not able to assimilate the social, political and economic changes of his time, nor did he identify himself with any nationalist movement. His privileged social position, however, allowed him to become the favorite painter of the bourgeoisie and the clergy of Lugo. He also participated in some official competitions, being awarded in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts with honorable mention in 1908 and 1909 and second medal in 1917. He is currently represented in the Fine Arts Museums of A Coruña, Lugo and Pontevedra.
