Nicolás Raurich Petre
(Barcelona, 1871 – 1945)
Author's artworks
19th- 20th Century Spanish
This artist belonged to the last generation of Spanish artists in Rome. After training at
La Lonja School of Fine Arts
Founded in 1775 by the Junta de Comercio of Barcelona as a “free school of design”, a training centre for the applied arts. The school got its name from its location in the Lonja de Mar Palace. Its curricula evolved throughout the 1800s with the incorporation of new subjects and the gradual separation of Arts and Crafts and Fine Arts into distinct departments. In 1940 the School of Fine Arts changed sites and in 1978 was turned into a Faculty of Fine Arts. The School of Arts and Crafts also moved to another headquarters in 1967, although it continued to be known as La Lonja School. In the mid-nineteenth century the same building housed the Provincial School of Fine Art, later renamed in 1930 as the San Jorge Royal Academy of Fine Arts (which kept its headquarters in La Lonja). The Academy set the official guidelines for art in Catalonia, championing a decidedly academicist approach.
in Barcelona under Antonio Caba (1838-1907), Luis Rigalt (1814-1894) and Eliseo Meifrén (1859-1949), he furthered his studies in Madrid, Rome, Paris, London and Munich. In 1891, he exhibited his first works at Sala Parés in Barcelona.
Specialising in the painting of still lifes and landscapes, throughout his career Raurich Petre took part in several National Expositions, obtaining an Honorary Mention in the event held in 1892, and First medals in 1902 and 1904. The artist also took part in international shows, including a participation in 1895 in the
Salon des Indépendants
An annual exhibition organised in Paris by the Société des Artistes Indépendants, a society formed in 1884 with the goal of showing works by all artists who claimed the independence of their art from academicism. It was created to respond to the rigid traditionalism of the Salon organised by the
Académie des Beaux-Arts
and was presented with the slogan
sans jury ni récompense
(without jury nor reward). Its founders included Odilon Redon (1840-1916), Georges Seurat (1859-1891) and Paul Signac (1863-1935). During the three decades following its inception, its annual exhibitions set the trends in modern art.
, in Paris, where he obtained an Honorary Mention, and in the international expositions held in Athens in 1903, Barcelona in 1907, and the Arts and Industries Exposition of Mexico in 1910, winning a First Medal.
He was appointed Commander of the Civil Order of Alfonso XII.
