Joan Llimona (1860-1926) Josep Llimona (1864-1934)
Once again, the MNAC presents an in-depth study of Catalan art and it does so with Joan and Josep Llimona. A painter and a sculptor respectively, they are very well represented in the museums collections. Therefore, besides the respective studies, included in this catalogue is a section listing all their works conserved in the MNAC, making it possible for everyone to appreciate the artistic level of the two brothers and the development of their careers. Although these ran parallel, each brother had his own distinct personality. Trained in Rome, on their return they became part of the Catalan art scene, where they quickly achieved a prominent position, especially after 1893, when they founded the Artistic Circle of Saint Luke, a body through which they defended artistic values in keeping with their religious beliefs. In short, we are presenting a series of paintings, sculptures and drawings from the period of Modernisme, one of the most significant in the history of Catalan modern art.
