Aurelio Tolosa y Alsina

Aurelio Tolosa y Alsina was born in Barcelona July 25, 1861 and died in 1938. He is considered a landscape and still life painter from the Spanish school.

Aurelio began his formal art education at the Beaux-Arts Academie in Madrid under landscape and genre painter Modesto d'Urgell y Inglada (1839-1919). While studying at the academy, Tolosa y Alsina would adopt the very fluid although academic French formula for still life painting and launch a very successful painting career.

Aurelio began exhibiting at the salons in Paris where his large-scale floral still lives received wide critical acclaim. He would continue to exhibit in Paris, Madrid and Rome. He would finally return to Spain and open his studio and atelier in Barcelona.

His magically lush still lives can be found in museum and private collections throughout the Western and European continents.
