Still life. Oil on canvas. GARCÍA LESMES, Aurelio (Valladolid, Spain, 1884-Mexico City, Mexico, 1942). Signed towards the top right corner and on the back. Aurelio García Lesmes was a Spanish painter who began his training in Valladolid and, thanks to a grant from the Provincial Council, continued it at the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. It was in Madrid that he gained wider recognition at the National Fine Arts Exhibitions (winning a Third Medal in 1917, a Second in 1922, and a First in 1926). In the capital, he met Valle-Inclán, Ricardo Baroja, Darío de Regoyos, and others, and divided his time between Madrid and Valladolid, where he painted his well-known canvases of Castilian countryside. Over time, he established himself as one of the most prestigious Spanish landscape painters of his era and set up his studio in Valladolid. After the Spanish Civil War, he went into exile in Mexico. His work can be seen in prominent institutions such as the Reina Sofía National Art Centre (Madrid) and the Patio Herreriano Museum (Valladolid).
