"Self Portrait of Casas with Pere Romeu on a Tandem" is a notable painting by the Spanish artist Ramon Casas i Carbó, created in 1897. This work is a significant piece within Casas's oeuvre, exemplifying his skill in portraying contemporary life in Barcelona at the turn of the 20th century. The painting is a double portrait that features the artist himself alongside his friend Pere Romeu, a prominent figure in the Barcelona bohemian scene, riding a tandem bicycle.

The painting stands out for its dynamic composition and the way it captures the spirit of modernity that characterized the period. Casas's use of swift brushstrokes and a muted color palette conveys a sense of movement and immediacy, while also reflecting the influence of French Impressionism and Post-Impressionism on his style. The tandem bicycle, a modern invention at the time, symbolizes the progressive and forward-thinking attitudes of the subjects and serves as a metaphor for their collaborative friendship and ventures, particularly their involvement with the famous Els Quatre Gats café, a hub of Catalan modernisme.

Measuring 600 x 322.5 cm, this large canvas was originally intended to serve as a promotional piece for the café and is often associated with the promotion of modern leisure activities and the bohemian lifestyle in Barcelona. The painting is also significant for its role in the development of Catalan modernism, a cultural movement that sought to redefine Catalan identity through art, literature, and architecture.

Today, "Self Portrait of Casas with Pere Romeu on a Tandem" is housed in the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC) in Barcelona, where it continues to be admired for its historical significance and artistic merit. The work remains an important testament to Ramon Casas's legacy as a leading figure in Spanish art at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
