Darío de Regoyos y Valdés (November 1, 1857 – October 29, 1913) was a

Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. He traveled extensively in the 1880s, accompanied by his friend, the painter Adolfo Guiard. He was a member of the art group L'Essor and a founding member of Les XX
with the Belgian avant-garde scene. During these experiences he gained a significant influence from Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painters.

His works include El paseo de Alderdi Eder (1894), Penaas de Duranguesado, La España Negra: Víctimas de la fiesta (1894), Mercado de Villarnaca de Oria (1909), Gallinero (1912) and Polluelos (1912).[1] Though his work was not very popular during his lifetime, after his death, a tribute exhibition was devoted to him in the Biblioteca Nacional de España in Madrid. Collections of his art are held by the Bilbao Fine Arts Museum, the Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya in Barcelona, Abelló Museum in Vallès Oriental, and the Carmen Thyssen Museum in Málaga. He died in 1913 and was buried in the Sant Gervasi Cemetery, Barcelona.

Early years

Regoyos was born in

Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts and lived in the Belgian capital for ten years, his patron being Edmond Picard, who introduced him to the thriving art world in Brussels.[3]

Career

An En plein air work by Darío de Regoyos.

Between 1881 and 1893, he travelled between Belgium, the Netherlands, and Spain. In 1882, he travelled to Morocco and Spain with Théo van Rysselberghe and Frantz Charlet. In the 1880s, he made several trips to Paris,[4] accompanied by his friend, painter Adolfo Guiard.[5] During these experiences he gained a significant influence from Impressionist and Neo-Impressionist painters.[6] He encouraged exhibitions, concerts and other cultural activities in order to develop modern art in Belgium. As such, he was a member of the art group L'Essor and a founding member of Les XX with the Belgian avant-garde scene.[4] He mixed with painters such as Théo van Rysselberghe and Frantz Charlet, Pissarro, Seurat, and Signac.[2] Regarding his 1912 oil on canvas, Le Poulailler ("The Henhouse"), José Ortega y Gasset said that Regoyos "seemed to kneel to paint a cabbage".[7] He also painted several smoking locomotive paintings.[5] In 1883, he accompanied several painters on a tour of Spain, settling in the country the following year. He married in Spain in 1895, but continued to make multiple trips out of the country.

Regoyos died of cancer in Barcelona in 1913. Though his work was not very popular during his lifetime, after his death, a tribute exhibition was devoted to him in the

Cabezon de Pisuerga honoring his name.[3] In 2008, a €0,43 stamp was issued in Spain with his self-portrait.[8]

Style

In his early stage, Regoyos' painting evolved from

Guipúzcoa. His drawing was characterized as being somewhat primary, almost naive, in contrast to his colorful international taste, which was then largely unrivaled in Spain.[3] Notable for contributing to "the renewal of modern Spanish painting",[5] in Spain, he is best known for his introduction of Impressionism techniques.[4]
