Dionís Baixeras i Verdaguer (1862–1943) was a naturalist Spanish artist from Barcelona, who specialized in oil on canvas and was noted for his realistic and detailed Orientalist and everyday life scenes.
Early life
Baixeras was born in Barcelona in 1862.
Career
Baixeras began studying at an early age at the La Lonja School of Fine Arts, where he was a pupil of Catalan painters such as Agustín Rigalt (1836-1899), Martí Alsina (1826-1894) and Antonio Caba (1838-1907).
At age 24 he moved for 4 years to Paris,[2][3] where he frequented the countryside to make paintings. In Paris, he was impressed by the realism and naturalism of Jean-François Millet, Jules Bastien-Lepage and Pascal Dagnan-Bouveret, whose style would leave a lasting impression on the young artist. He then returned to Barcelona.
Baixeras exhibited often and with the help of Antonio Blanch, he sold many paintings. The everyday scenes he painted ensured that his work was popular, and he was commercially successful.[4]
