  EUGENIO HERMOSO MARTÍNEZ (Fregenal de la Sierra, Badajoz, 1883 - Madrid, 1963). "Young man with flowers". Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower left corner. Measurements: 75 x 48 cm; 91 x 63 cm (frame). Eugenio Hermoso began his studies at the School of Fine Arts of Santa Isabel de Hungría in Seville, with a scholarship from the City Council and the Provincial Council of Badajoz. In 1901 he moved to Madrid to continue his training at the School of San Fernando, and there he also dedicated himself to making copies of the great masters in the Prado Museum. During these years he frequented the Ateneo and the Círculo de Bellas Artes, being praised by intellectuals such as Pío Baroja, Díaz Canedo and Juan Ramón Jiménez. He then began a study trip that took him to France and Belgium, as well as the most important Italian cities: Genoa, Pisa, Rome, Naples, Florence, Venice and Milan. On this trip Eugenio Hermoso came into contact with the European avant-garde, meeting the Impressionists and admiring the portraits of Egyptian sarcophagi from the Roman period. In 1912 he embarked for England, exhibiting his work in London that same year. In 1918 he settled in Madrid forcibly and definitively. From then on he frequented the nightly gatherings of the Nuevo Levante café, attended by the brothers Ricardo and Pío Baroja, Ignacio Zuloaga, José Gutiérrez Solana and Rafael de Penagos, among others; and the Maisón Doré café, together with Jacinto Benavente, Manuel and Antonio Machado and Francisco Villaespesa. In 1922 he held his first major exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in Madrid, with public and sales success. Professor at the Escuela Superior de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, he was appointed academician in 1941. Seven years later he was awarded the medal of honor at the National. Under the pseudonym of Francisco Teodoro de Nertóbriga he published his "Autobiography" in 1955, and signed his satirical paintings. He is mainly represented in the Fine Arts Museums of Badajoz and Seville, as well as in other public and private collections.
