Ritratto di Giuseppe Verdi

Ritratto di un giovane Giuseppe Verdi, pubblicato dalla Litografia Dines ed eseguito da Pere Borrell del Caso, 1865/70 circa. Borrell del Caso (Puigcerdà, 1835 – Barcellona, 16 maggio 1910) è stato un pittore, illustratore e incisore spagnolo, conosciuto per il suo dipinto Escapando de la crítica (1874), esempio di trompe l'œil. Borrell del Caso fu anche autore di molti ritratti e scenari religiosi, influenzati dalla pittura dei Nazareni. Per due volte gli fu offerta la cattedra della Scuola della Llotja e in entrambi i casi rifiutò, creando un'accademia indipendente. Litografia, leggere ossidazioni nella parte sinistra, per il resto in buono stato di conservazione. Portrait of a young Giuseppe Verdi, published by Litografia Dines Lithography and executed by Pere Borrell del Caso, ca. 1865/70. Borrell del Caso (13 December 1835, in Puigcerdà – 16 May 1910, in Barcelona) was a Spanish painter, illustrator and engraver, known for his trompe-l'œil paintings; especially Escapando de la crítica (1874). His father was a cabinetmaker who taught that craft to Borrell. It was by this means that he was able to support his studies at the School of Fine Arts. He also painted portraits, which made up the bulk of his work, and created religious murals in the Nazarene style in Barcelona, Girona and Castellar del Vallès. These, however, were all destroyed during the Spanish Civil War in the 1930s. He exhibited throughout Spain and at the 1878 Exposition Universelle. He was twice offered a professorship at the Escola de la Llotja, but preferred to teach at his own private art school. Those who studied there or were influenced by his work include Romà Ribera, Ricard Canals, Adrià Gual and Josep Maria Sert. Lithograph, slight oxidation on left side, otherwise in good condition. Cfr.
