Ramon Casas i Carbó (1866–1932) was a Catalan Spanish artist. Living through a turbulent time in the history of his native Barcelona, he was known as a portraitist, sketching and painting the intellectual, economic, and political elite of Barcelona, Paris, Madrid, and beyond; he was also known for his paintings of crowd scenes ranging from the audience at a bullfight to the assembly for an execution to rioters in the Barcelona streets. Also, a graphic designer, his posters and postcards helped to define the Catalan art movement known as modernism.

11. Ramon Casas i Carbó (1866–1932) was a Catalan Spanish artist. In
1877 he abandoned the regular course of schooling to study art in the
studio of Joan Vicens. In 1881, still in his teens, he was a co-founder
of the magazine L'Avenç; the 9 October 1881 issue included his
sketch of the cloister of Sant Benet in Bages. That same month,
accompanied by his cousin Miquel Carbó i Carbó, a medical student, he
began his first stay in Paris, where he studied that winter at the
Carolus Duran Academy and later at the Gervex Academy, and
functioned as a Paris correspondent for L'Avenç. The next year he
had a piece exhibited in Barcelona at the Sala Parés, and in 1883 in
Paris the Salon des Champs Elysées exhibited his portrait of himself
dressed as a flamenco dancer; the piece won him an invitation as a
member of the salon of the Societé d'artistes françaises.
The next few years he continued to paint and travel, spending most
autumns and winters in Paris and the rest of the year in Spain, mostly
in Barcelona but also in Madrid and Granada; his 1886 painting of the
crowd at the Madrid bullfighting ring was to be the first of many
highly detailed paintings of crowds. That year he survived
tuberculosis, and convalesced for the winter in Barcelona. Among the
artists he met in this period of his life, and who influenced him, were
Laureà Barrau, Santiago Rusiñol, Eugène Carrière, Pierre Puvis de
Chavannes, and Ignacio Zuloaga.

30. During a 1904 sojourn in Madrid, he produced a series of sketches
of the Madrid intelligentsia, and befriended painters Eliseo
Meifrén and Joaquín Sorolla, as well as Agustí Querol Subirats,
official sculptor to the Spanish government. In Querol's studio, he
executed an equestrian portrait of the king, Alfonso XIII, which
was soon purchased by the American collector Charles Deering,
who, over the next few years would commission or purchase
several of Casas paintings. Increasingly in demand as a portraitist,
he settled again for a while in Barcelona. Shortly thereafter he
made the acquaintance of a young artist's model named Júlia
Peraire, 22 years his junior. He first painted her in 1906 when she
was 18. She soon became his favorite model and his lover. His
family did not approve of her; they eventually married, but not
until 1922.
