    BENITO MERCADÉ Y FÁBREGAS (La Bisbal, Girona, 1821 - Barcelona, 1897). "Landscape of a fisherman in the lagoon", 1896. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower right corner. Measurements: 63 x 96 cm; 73 x 40 cm (frame). Benito Mercadé moved to Barcelona and entered the Escuela de La Lonja in 1838, alternating his training with the profession of ornamental painter. Later he will extend his training at the Escuela de Bellas Artes de San Fernando, in Madrid, where he was a disciple of Carlos Luis Ribera. He made his first exhibition in 1852, and a year later he settled in Madrid. In 1858 he attended the National Exhibition of Fine Arts, where he received an honorable mention. He then traveled to France, and during his stay in Paris he won the grand prize at the Paris Exhibition and the first medal at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1867. A few years earlier, in 1863, he had settled in Rome, but was forced to return to Barcelona for health reasons. In Barcelona he continued to work, carrying out numerous commissions of religious subjects, genre scenes and portraits. In his last years he was appointed full professor at the School of Fine Arts of Sant Jordi in Barcelona (1882), where he had as students painters of the stature of Antonio Ros i Güell. Mercadé is currently represented in the Prado Museum, the MACBA in Barcelona, and the museums of Girona and Zaragoza, among others.
