'CREPUSCULO' (TWILIGHT) SIGNED BY ELISEO MEIFREN (SPAIN 1856-1949)

DESCRIPTION

Antique 19th Century impressionist painting called 'Crepúsculo' (Twilight), depicting a lady seated in a boat on shore, signed by Eliseo Meifren (1859-1940), Spanish painter from Barcelona, ​the frame is signed Meifren and Crepusculo.

Following his passion for art, he gave up the study of medicine and enrolled at the Escola de la Llotja, where his teachers were Antoni Caba and Ramon Martí Alsina. In 1879, he went to Paris and supported his studies by selling small canvases and sketches of cityscapes. His style was, however, decisively influenced by a brief tour of Italy. 

Upon his return to Spain in 1881, he participated in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts.
The following year, he married, honeymooned in Paris, and settled there. His first personal exhibition came in 1890 at the Sala Parés in Barcelona, where he presented seventy oils and surprised everyone by auctioning off the works that did not sell, with his friend Santiago Rusiñol acting as the appraiser. He used the proceeds to return to Italy.

In 1892, he went back to Paris and began to associate with the Impressionists, producing changes in his use of colors. Five years later, he accepted an invitation from the President of the "Gabinete Literario", and moved to Las Palmas in the Canary Islands. His home there became a makeshift art academy, where Néstor Martín-Fernández de la Torre was one of his students.
