Enrique Serra Auqué was famous for his landscapes and showed his artistic talent early. He attended the Escuela de Bellas Artes in Barcelona and was a pupil of Ramon Marti Alsina, now considered the founder of the Catalan landscape school, and the sculptor Domingo Talarn. At the age of 20, in 1879, Auqué received a scholarship on merit and moved to Rome, where he remained there for the rest of his life. Here he attended the Chigi Academy, became a friend of Mariano Fortuny, one of the greatest Spanish painters of the 19th century after Goya, and became one of the favorite painters of Pope Leo XIII, who purchased The Virgin of Monserrato and made him a member of the Academy of Arcadia. Rome and the Roman countryside offered Auqué the locations for his works. Thus, he succeeded in developing that pictorial sensitivity for sunsets, marshes, marshes, ponds with sculptures that are still tangible today.

French Mid 19th Century Portrait of an Italian Brigand. Oil on Canvas.
Located in Cotignac, FR
Mid 19th Century oil on canvas portrait of an Italian brigand, unsigned, in painted wood and gilt frame. The painting is a fine and fascinating rendition with plenty of wonderful character and detail to the costume, accessories, landscape and seascape. Very atmospheric and imposing much like the character it portrays. There is a trade stamp to the back of the canvas for the Paris firm of Susse Freres. The canvas is on a fine quality stretcher with 'keys'. There is an artist's name or title written on the top of the rear stretcher (see photo). Bands of brigands who populated the hills of southern Italy were steady fodder for the Romantic imagination, and their exploits were reported both factually, fancifully and artistically The painting dates from a period when France, under its then leader Napoleon III, was involved in the conflicts in the Italian states and the unification and eventual creation of the nation of Italy. An earlier and similar portrait exists of the infamous brigand Mazzocchi by Achille-Etna Michallony . Léon Cogniet...
