About the Item

A framed charcoal drawing of a female nude dated «1941» and signed «Henrique Medina», frame 57 x 64 cm and paper 44,5 x 61,5 cm Henrique Medina de Barros, considered one of the greatest portrait painter from Portugal, was born in the city of Porto on August 18th, 1901 and died on November 30th,1988. After suspending his studies at the Fine Arts School of Porto (Escola Superior de Belas Artes do Porto) in 1919, he pursued further education under Cormon and Bérard while studying in Paris. In the period of Modernism, Medina initially engaged in academic painting but eventually veered towards becoming a highly acclaimed portraitist who gained worldwide recognition. Having lived in London for ten years, he later journeyed to Rome where he crafted a portrait of Mussolini. He then went on to visit various places including São Paulo, Buenos Aires and Madrid before finally returning back to Paris and eventually traveling onward to Stockholm. Eventually making his home in Hollywood, California – there he concentrated primarily on creating portraits of actresses like the one featured in MGM's screen adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray (1945).
