FRANCISCO MASRIERA MANOVENS (Barcelona, 1842 - 1902).
"Lady at the Masked Ball, 1899.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated in the lower left corner.
Period frame, in carved and gilded wood.
Measurements: 60 x 42 cm; 87 x 68 cm (frame).
Francisco Masriera practised a preciousness full of fantasy and sensuality, with a chromatic freshness that seems to update the legacy of the gallant painting of Watteau and Fragonard. He excelled in female portraiture, as is evident in this painting of a young woman captured in a jovial, uninhibited expression. Her pink satin dress adorned with a tulle neckline, together with the velvet gloves and pleated cap, suggest a festive atmosphere, which is emphasised by the black mask on her skirt. Here we can see the perfection of a drawing that is subjected to a luminous colouring, rich in sunny tones.
A painter, writer and goldsmith, Francisco Masriera cultivated the genre of portraiture and orientalist painting, and is now considered one of the best portraitists who followed in Fortuny's footsteps. The son of the prestigious goldsmith José Masriera Vidal and brother of the painters José and Luis Masriera, Francisco began his artistic training under his father's guidance in the family jewellery workshop and with the painter José Serra Porson. He then travelled to Geneva to learn the technique of enamelling, although he gradually turned to painting, specialising in portraits. Around 1865 he moved to Paris, where he attended Alexandre Cabanel's studio and devoted himself to copying the great masters of the Louvre. He subsequently travelled to Rome, where he began to paint Orientalist canvases. As a writer and columnist he contributed to the magazine "El Recuerdo". Francisco Masriera took part in the Universal Exhibitions in Paris in 1867, 1878 and 1889, and was awarded a third-class medal at the latter. At the National Fine Arts Exhibition in Madrid in 1878 he was awarded a second medal for the work entitled "La esclava" ("The Slave"), which was finally acquired by King Alfonso XII. He also showed his works at the Bosch gallery in Madrid in 1882 and at the Sala Parés in Barcelona in 1889. His portraits include the one he painted of the Queen Regent Maria Cristina with her son Alfonso XIII in 1888, which currently presides over the Queen Regent's Hall in Barcelona's Casa de la Ciutadella. Close to the group of Spanish painters living in the French capital, including Francisco Miralles, Romà Ribera and Federico de Madrazo, his international reputation was strengthened when he signed a contract with Goupil, the most important art dealer of the day, to sell his work. Francisco Masriera is represented in the Museo del Prado, the Museo de San Telmo in San Sebastián, the Museo de Bellas Artes in Álava, the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña, the Museo de la Abadía de Montserrat and the Patrimonio Nacional, as well as in various private collections.
