Uno de los nuestros y de los grandes… Ignacio Pinazo Camarlench nació en Valencia en 1849 y murió en 1916. Surge de familia humilde y comenzó sus estudios en la Academia de Bellas Artes de San Carlos de Valencia en 1864 y se ganaba la vida de sombrerero. Luego en 1871 logró su primera exposición en la Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes. Sus primeras obras no fueron totalmente de genero, aunque si academistas, pero Camarlench siempre fue buscando algo diferente y se nota. Pasó hacia el impresionismo en 1874 siguiendo los pasos de Sorolla y de otros pintores españoles como Francisco Domingo Marqués… Ignacio fue profesor de Bellas Artes en la Escuela de Valencia y en 1896 fue nombrado como académico en la Escuela de Bellas Artes de San Carlos de Valencia… Fue un gran retratista, ganador de la medalla de la exposición nacional (1897). Uno de sus retratos famosos fue el de su majestad Don Alfonso XIII. Fue nombrado académico de la Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando de Valencia (1912)… Aunque se le conoce como un impresionista, su obra tiene mucho mas ya que él incorpora aspectos del naturalismo y también mucha psicología y emoción en su obra. Si uno se fija bien verá que en los espacios negativos de muchos de sus lienzos hay también mucha arte abstracta… El Museo del Prado tiene muchas obras de este gran pintor valenciano.

One of our own (Valencian) and one of the greats… Ignacio Pinazo Camarlench was born in Valencia in 1849 and died in 1916. He came from a humble family and began his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia in 1864 while making a living as a hat maker. In 1871, he achieved his first exhibition at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts. His early works were not strictly of the popular genre at the time, though they were academic. But Camarlench was always searching for something different, and it showed. He moved towards Impressionism in 1874, following in the footsteps of Sorolla and other Spanish painters like Francisco Domingo Marqués… Ignacio was a professor of Fine Arts at the Valencia School and in 1896, he was appointed as an academic at the School of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia… He was a great portraitist, winning the gold medal at the national exhibition (1897). One of his famous portraits was that of His Majesty King Alfonso XIII. He was named an academic at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Valencia (1912)… Although he is known as an Impressionist, his work encompasses much more as he incorporates aspects of naturalism as well as a great deal of psychological aspects and emotion into his work. If one looks closely, they will see that in the negative spaces of many of his canvases, there is also a great deal of abstract art… The Prado Museum houses many works by this great Valencian painter.

Este pintor no tiene desperdicio y os urjo a que busquéis mas sobre Ignacio Pinazo Camarlech.
