Francisco Llorens Díaz, born April 10, 1874 in charming La Coruña and died February 11, 1948 in culturally vibrant Madrid, was an outstanding painter of Spanish-Galician origin. His works, famous for the masterful representation of still lifes and landscapes, are still highly relevant in the art world today. Born in the midst of a merchant family, his path was initially predetermined: The business of commerce led the course of his life. Nevertheless, art attracted him magnetically, and so he began to take drawing lessons at the School of Applied Arts in La Coruña. Under the guidance of the military artist Román Navarro, he found his true vocation. Determined to follow his artistic path, he was drawn to the cultural heart of Spain, Madrid. There he enrolled at the prestigious Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando and was fortunate enough to study at Carlos de Haes. His artistic skills were further refined in the studios of the incomparable Joaquín Sorolla.
Made possible by a scholarship, he expanded his artistic horizons and attended the Academia de España en Roma. From there, he took an inspiring trip to Belgium and the Netherlands with a group of fellow students. Especially the intensive stay of several months in the picturesque city of Bruges left a lasting impression on him. His works created in Rome received so much recognition that the Spanish ambassador purchased three of them and exhibited them in the majestic Quirinal Palace. In 1906, enriched by these experiences, he returned to Spain. In the following two decades, Francisco Llorens Díaz presented his works at numerous exhibitions, including, remarkably, the Second Exhibition of Galician Art in 1917 and an exhibition at the Galerías Layetanas in Barcelona in the same year. In these, he stood side by side with his friend Fernando Álvarez de Sotomayor. Although his works were also exhibited in Panama and Buenos Aires, he never set foot on American soil. He received a first-class award for his landscape "Rías Baixas" at the National Art Exhibition in 1922. In 1929, he was honored to organize the Galician pavilion at the Ibero-American Exposition.
Llorens Díaz's personal life was marked by happy moments, but also sad ones. In 1918 he married Eva Rodríguez, the daughter of a prominent doctor from La Coruña. She unfortunately died already in 1925, leaving him two beloved daughters. Shortly after, he was awarded the Grand Cross of the Order of Charles III - a sign of the high recognition he had received during his lifetime. During the turbulent Spanish Civil War, Francisco Llorens Díaz spent most of his time in Madrid before being forced to flee with his daughters to Valencia in 1938. Here he found in painting still lifes a way to express his inner turmoil. After the war, he commuted between Madrid and Galicia, where he continued to create his profound landscapes. He received another honor in 1942 when he was named a member of his alma mater, the Real Academia. Just a year later, he received a similar honor from the Real Academia Gallega.
Towards the end of his life, in 1945, his health began to deteriorate, suffering from severe episodes of memory loss. Francisco Llorens Díaz died in 1948 and was buried at the side of his beloved wife. Today you have the opportunity to enjoy the magic and beauty of his works at home through high quality art prints.
