Hermenegildo Anglada Camarasa
Hermenegildo Anglada Camarasa was a Spanish painter.
Camarasa studied at the Llotja de Barcelona School of Fine Arts under Modeste Urgel, whose work influenced his first landscapes. He moved to Paris in 1894, studying at the Académie Julian and the Académie Colarossi. His colorful style of painting shows a strong Oriental and Arabic influence, and his decorative style is associated with the work of Gustav Klimt.
In the early 1990s, Camarasa opened a painting school attended by many students, including Marie Blanchard. He was one of the founders of the Autumn Salons of Paris and was associated with the artists of the Vienna Secession. Camarasa's works from these years, depicting nighttime street scenes, Parisian cabarets and music halls, attracted the attention of Pablo Picasso, who had recently arrived in Montmartre; he even painted a profile portrait of Anglade.
In 1901 Camarasa took part in an international exhibition in Dresden

With the outbreak of the First World War, Anglada-Camarasa left Paris for Mallorca. Executed circa 1925 -30, the present scene is a far cry from his charged Parisian night scenes; and yet the radical modern style he developed there – the use of chromatic experimentation, radiant colours and thick impasto – is still very much in evidence.
Referencing the Japanese prints the artist had certainly seen in Paris, the present work depicts that wonderful time of the year when, between the end of January and the beginning of February, Mallorcan almond trees start blossoming, covering the island with stunning white flowers.
