Francesc Masriera y Manovens and Winter of 1882

'Winter of 1882' (1882) by Francesc Masriera y Manovens;
Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, Barcelona

For this post I chose the Catalan painter Francesc Masriera y Manovens, born on 21 October 1842, and died on 15 March 1902. His father, an artist as well, encouraged him to paint and he studied in Geneva, Paris and Rome. He dedicated himself to painting Oriental subjects and these were to establish his reputation. The painting I chose is obviously very different from his Oriental subjects. But I like this one. Here is the link to the Catalan museum where it's on display.
