LAUREANO BARRAU BUÑOL (Barcelona, 1864 - Santa Eulària des Riu, Ibiza, 1957). "Procession of Palm Sunday". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower margin.
Est: €8,000 - €9,000
LAUREANO BARRAU BUÑOL (Barcelona, 1864 - Santa Eulària des Riu, Ibiza, 1957). "Procession of Palm Sunday". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower margin. Measurements: 100 x 81 cm. Laureano Barrau performs with inimitable mastery in the momentary capture of a liturgical celebration in a high mountain village. It is Palm Sunday and the people wave their palms before the ecclesiastical procession, with their crucifixes and banners. The altar boys occupy the compositional center. Their red tunics seem to lend their color to their flaming cheeks. The white of the surcoats absorbs the clear daylight. One of the altar boys waves a censer and the whimsical movement of the smoke clouds intensify the instantaneous force of the frame. This oil painting shows Laureano Barrau's mastery in the handling of light, in the meticulous description of the features and their costumes (the fine linen lace, the friar's brocades...), as well as the skillful capturing of the crowds that crowd behind the main group. Laureano Barrau began his training at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, where he was a disciple of Antonio Caba. Shortly afterwards he made a trip to Madrid to broaden his training with the study of the great masters of the Prado Museum. In 1884 the City Council of Barcelona granted him the Fortuny Pension to further his studies in Rome for three years. However, with the money from the travel grant Barrau moved to Paris, where he entered the Academy of Fine Arts, with Jean-Léon Gérôme as his tutor. In 1885, already in Rome, he studied the Italian masters and began to send to Barcelona the works that corresponded to him as a pensioner. From 1887 he exhibited regularly at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, one of the most important Spanish galleries of the time, and the most prominent in Catalonia. That year his painting "The Surrender of Gerona" was a great success with critics and the public, as it was a totally personal treatment of the genre of history painting, more vibrant and emotional. At the same time, Barrau participated frequently in official exhibitions both nationally and internationally. In 1888 he was awarded a second medal at the International Exhibition in Barcelona, and a second prize at the Universal Exhibition in Brussels. Three years later, in 1891, he received the title of member of the Salon of the National Society of Fine Arts of Paris, and the following year he was awarded a third medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid for his work "Escardadora". In 1904 he obtained a second medal at the same exhibition for "Taponeras del Ampurdán". Barrau also held numerous solo exhibitions and participated in group exhibitions in Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, New York and Rome. In 1909 he settled in Buenos Aires, where his work enjoyed the same success and recognition as in Spain and Europe, and after returning he settled permanently in Ibiza in 1911. From there he continued to show his work both in Spain and abroad, and in 1929 he was named "Societarie" of the Paris Salons. Today it is considered that the work he did in Santa Eulària des Riu (Ibiza), at the end of his life, composes the best of his production. Laureano Barrau is currently represented in the Prado Museum, the Getty Museum in California, the Museums of Contemporary Art in Madrid and Barcelona, his house-museum in Santa Eulària des Riu and in various museums in Paris, Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro, as well as in important national and international private collections.

From there he continued to show his work both in Spain and abroad, and in 1929 he was named "Societarie" of the Paris Salons.

A shepherd plays the flute next to an olive tree of thick and gnarled trunk, whose immense glass shelters the flock that grazes. The profile of the Balearic coastline is luminous despite the fact that the afternoon has already begun to fall and the shadows lengthen. However, they are shadows that are subtracted from the darkness. The dying sun, despite its decline, manages to extract the warmest tones of the yellows, the most intense green and bright cerulean of the calm sea. Barrau's mastery in capturing a plein air the right ranges is evident in every detail.

LAUREANO BARRAU BUÑOL (Barcelona, 1864 - Santa Eulària des Riu, Ibiza, 1957). "Taponeras del Ampurdán", 1904. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower left corner. It has bands of reinforcement in the margins. For this work Barrau was awarded the second medal at the 1904 National Fine Arts Competition. Referenced in the newspaper Cedeon nº 443, in volume LXXVII of the magazine Ilustración Española y Americana, in the book Arte, Poder y Sociedad en la España de los siglos XV a XX pág. 413 and on the official website of the Museo del Prado, which owns Barrau's work "Escardadoras" which received the third medal in 1892. Size: 100 x 130 cm; 126 x 155 cm (frame). This oil painting shows Laureano Barrau's mastery in the handling of light and his audacity to compose intimate and poetic scenes. Four taponeras work in silence in a room through whose window the brightness of the day filters in backlighting, causing the sun's reflections to glitter on the women's features and the wicker baskets. The youngest, with a knotted scarf around her neck, receives more light and attracts our attention, even though we can barely see her face. The satin cotton shirt, the sheen of her black hair and her crimson flesh tones tell us of her youth and inexperience, in contrast to the more weathered faces and worn-out clothes of the veterans. Barrau freezes the instant and sublimates it, so that the scene is imbued with a cadence that is both timeless and instantaneous. It is a magical impression that the artist achieves thanks to his extreme mastery of range, applied with light, rapid brushstrokes. Laureano Barrau began his training at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, where he was a disciple of Antonio Caba. Shortly afterwards he travelled to Madrid to broaden his training by studying the great masters of the Prado Museum. In 1884 the Barcelona City Council granted him the Fortuny Pension to extend his studies in Rome for three years. However, with the money from the travel grant Barrau moved to Paris, where he entered the Academy of Fine Arts, with Jean-Léon Gérôme as his tutor. In 1885, already in Rome, he studied the Italian masters and began to send to Barcelona the works that corresponded to him as a boarder. From 1887 he exhibited regularly at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, one of the most important Spanish galleries of the time, and the most prominent in Catalonia. That year his painting "The Surrender of Gerona" was a great success with critics and the public, as it represented a totally personal treatment of the genre of history painting, more vibrant and emotive. At the same time, Barrau frequently took part in official exhibitions both nationally and internationally. In 1888 he was awarded a second medal at the International Exhibition in Barcelona and a second prize at the Universal Exhibition in Brussels. Three years later, in 1891, he was awarded the title of member of the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and the following year he was awarded a third medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid for his work "Escardadora". In 1904 he won a second medal at the same exhibition for "Taponeras del Ampurdán". Barrau also held numerous individual exhibitions and took part in group exhibitions in Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, New York and Rome. In 1909 he moved to Buenos Aires, where his work enjoyed the same success and recognition as it had in Spain and Europe, and after returning he settled permanently in Ibiza in 1911. From there he continued to show his work both in Spain and abroad, and in 1929 he was appointed "Societarie" of the Paris Salons. To this day, the work he produced in Santa Eulària des Riu (Ibiza) at the end of his life is considered to be the best of his output. Laureano Barrau is currently represented in the Prado Museum, the Getty Museum in California, the Museums of Contemporary Art in Madrid and Barcelona, his house-museum in Santa Eulària des Riu and in various museums in Paris, Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro, as well as in important national and international private collections.

LAUREANO BARRAU BUÑOL (Barcelona, 1864 - Santa Eulària des Riu, Ibiza, 1957). "Noia Eivissenca (Eivissa Noia). Circa 1935 Watercolour and graphite on paper. Signed and dedicated in the lower left-hand corner. Work referenced in "Laureà Barrau" by Isabel Coll p. 203. Work exhibited in the anthological exhibition "Laureà Barrau (1863-1957), l'artista i el seu llegat a Terrassa", 2004, Centre Cultural de Caixa Terrassa. Measurements: 46 x 36 cm; 67 x 57 cm (frame). Laureano Barrau was born into a bourgeois family, son of an industrial engineer and businessman. He began his training at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, where he was a disciple of Antonio Caba. Shortly afterwards he travelled to Madrid to broaden his training by studying the great masters of the Prado Museum. In 1884 the Barcelona City Council granted him the Fortuny Pension to extend his studies in Rome for three years. However, with the money from the travel grant Barrau moved to Paris, where he entered the Academy of Fine Arts, with Jean-Léon Gérôme as his tutor. In 1885, already in Rome, he studied the Italian masters and began to send to Barcelona the works that corresponded to him as a boarder. From 1887 he exhibited regularly at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, one of the most important Spanish galleries of the time, and the most prominent in Catalonia. That year his painting "The Surrender of Gerona" was a great success with critics and the public, as it represented a totally personal treatment of the genre of history painting, more vibrant and emotive. At the same time, Barrau frequently took part in official exhibitions both nationally and internationally. In 1888 he was awarded a second medal at the International Exhibition in Barcelona and a second prize at the Universal Exhibition in Brussels. Three years later, in 1891, he was awarded the title of member of the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and the following year he was awarded a third medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid for his work "Escardadora". In 1904 he won a second medal at the same exhibition for "Taponeras del Ampurdán". Barrau also held numerous individual exhibitions and took part in group exhibitions in Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, New York and Rome. In 1909 he settled in Buenos Aires, where his work enjoyed the same success and recognition as it had in Spain and Europe, and after returning he settled permanently in Ibiza in 1911. From there he continued to show his work both in Spain and abroad, and in 1929 he was appointed "Societarie" of the Paris Salons. Barrau's work is based on an initial language linked to his neoclassical training, and evolves to reach a new concept characterised by luminosity and chromatic transparencies. To this day, the work he produced in Santa Eulària des Riu (Ibiza) at the end of his life is considered to be the best of his output. Laureano Barrau is currently represented in the Prado Museum, the Getty Museum in California, the Museums of Contemporary Art in Madrid and Barcelona, his house-museum in Santa Eulària des Riu and in various museums in Paris, Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro, as well as in important national and international private collections.

Measurements: 62 x 46 cm; 74 x 58 cm (frame). In this work the author gives prominence to a lemon tree, which in a certain way isolates from the landscape, which is closed by nature.

In 1884 the Barcelona City Council granted him the Fortuny Pension to extend his studies in Rome for three years. However, with the money from the travel grant Barrau moved to Paris, where he entered the Academy of Fine Arts, with Jean-Léon Gérôme as his tutor. In 1885, already in Rome, he studied the Italian masters and began to send to Barcelona the works that corresponded to him as a boarder. From 1887 he exhibited regularly at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, one of the most important Spanish galleries of the time, and the most prominent in Catalonia. That year his painting "The Surrender of Gerona" was a great success with critics and the public, as it represented a totally personal treatment of the genre of history painting, more vibrant and emotive. At the same time, Barrau frequently took part in official exhibitions both nationally and internationally. In 1888 he was awarded a second medal at the International Exhibition in Barcelona and a second prize at the Universal Exhibition in Brussels. Three years later, in 1891, he was awarded the title of member of the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, and the following year he was awarded a third medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid for his work "Escardadora". In 1904 he won a second medal at the same exhibition for "Taponeras del Ampurdán". Barrau also held numerous individual exhibitions and took part in group exhibitions in Paris, Barcelona, Madrid, New York and Rome. In 1909 he settled in Buenos Aires, where his work enjoyed the same success and recognition as it had in Spain and Europe, and after returning he settled permanently in Ibiza in 1911. From there he continued to show his work both in Spain and abroad, and in 1929 he was appointed "Societarie" of the Paris Salons. Barrau's work is based on an initial language linked to his neoclassical training, and evolves to reach a new concept characterised by luminosity and chromatic transparencies. Today, the work he produced in Santa Eulària des Riu (Ibiza) at the end of his life is considered to be the best of his output. Laureano Barrau is currently represented in the Prado Museum, the Getty Museum in California, the Museums of Contemporary Art in Madrid and Barcelona, his house-museum in Santa Eulària des Riu and in various museums in Paris, Buenos Aires, Montevideo and Rio de Janeiro, as well as in important national and international private collections.

LAUREANO BARRAU BUÑOL (Barcelona, 1864 – Santa Eulària des Riu, Ibiza, 1957). "Pot with lemon tree". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner.
Est: €1,800 - €2,000
LAUREANO BARRAU BUÑOL (Barcelona, 1864 - Santa Eulària des Riu, Ibiza, 1957). "Flowerpot with Lemon Tree". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right-hand corner. Measurements: 62 x 46 cm; 74 x 58 cm (frame). In this work the author gives prominence to a lemon tree, which in a certain way isolates from the landscape, which is closed by nature. In such a way that the artist focuses his attention on the luminosity of the scene, the bright colours and the play of shadows, thus creating an image of tactile qualities, which in a certain way transport the viewer.

(Barcelone 1864 'Ibiza, 1957) Baigneuse au parasol vert Signé L Barrau en bas à gauche Huile sur toile, 80X90 cm Le tableau reproduit dans le catalogue décrit l'une des nombreuses plages d'Ibiza, où la couleur rose du sable contraste avec le bleu brillant du ciel clair, la lumière caresse la peau ambrée de la baigneuse allongée sur le sable, protégée par un petit parasol vert émeraude. La palette chromatique est brillante et vise la recherche des effets raffinés de la lumière, tandis que la composition est inhabituelle, voire anti-académique, la figure étant placée dans une position si proche du regard du spectateur. Laureano Barrau a étudié à l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts de Barcelone, élève d'Antonio Caba, ensuite il se dirige à Madrid, pour étudier les grands maîtres du musée du Prado. Plus tard il poursuit ses études à Paris en entrant à l'Académie des Beaux-Arts sous la direction de Jean-Léon Gérôme. Au cours des années suivantes, il s'installe à Rome, attiré par les nouveaux courants picturaux italiens. Il participe assidûment à des expositions nationales et internationales, obtenant plusieurs récompenses. Il organise nombreuses expositions personnelles et collectives à Paris, Barcelone, Madrid, New York et Rome. En 1911, il déménage à Ibiza, où il reste jusqu'à la fin de ses jours. Une exposition permanente des oeuvres de Barrau est présentée au musée Barrau à Ibiza.
