Francesc Tramulles Paintings

Francesc Tramulles Roig was a Catalan painter, born in Barcelona, Spain, in 1891. He was an artist primarily known for his landscapes and urban scenes, often depicting the streets and locales of Catalonia with a particular interest in capturing the changing light and atmosphere of his subjects.

Tramulles studied at the Escola de Belles Arts (School of Fine Arts) in Barcelona and was a contemporary of many artists who would go on to define Catalan modern art. Though less internationally recognized than some of his peers, his work was nonetheless appreciated for its contribution to the Catalan art scene.

Throughout his career, Tramulles stayed true to his roots, drawing inspiration from his surroundings. He painted the Catalan countryside, the dynamic streets of Barcelona, and the serene coastal views with a sense of intimacy and familiarity. His style evolved over the years, although he predominantly maintained a traditional approach, focusing on realism and naturalistic color palettes.

During his lifetime, Tramulles participated in numerous exhibitions, both locally and across Spain. His work was well received, and he garnered respect among art critics and collectors. Despite this, he did not achieve the same level of fame as some of his contemporaries, such as Joan Miró or Salvador Dalí, who were creating more avant-garde work that would come to be associated with the identity of 20th-century Spanish art.

Tramulles's dedication to his craft and his region was evident not only in his paintings but also in his involvement in the local art community. He was a member of various artistic organizations and participated in efforts to promote and preserve Catalan art and culture during a time of significant political and social change in Spain.

Francesc Tramulles passed away in 1977, leaving behind a body of work that continues to be appreciated for its serene beauty and its authentic representation of Catalan life and landscapes. His paintings can be found in private collections and occasionally appear in art auctions, where they are prized for their historical and regional significance.
