Biography
The god of waters. National Museum of Art of Catalonia.
It was initially formed in the Schools of Fine Arts of Zaragoza and Madrid, then in Paris and, for the years 1881, in Rome. On his return, in 1886, he was appointed professor of «Drawing of the Ancient» of the School of Fine Arts of Saragossa and curator of the Museum of Antiquities, positions that he resigned in 1897 to move to Paris, apparently hired by the dealer Goupil , For whom he had to make an abundant pictorial production that will provide him with a healthy income. Towards 1906 returns to Spain being installed initially in Barcelona and later, in his old age, will reside in Saragossa.
The painting of Pallares covers almost all the genres; From the portrait and mural compositions of a religious or decorative character - as in the large canvas attached to the cross vault of the church of Santa Engracia, or in one of the ceiling of the Main Theater of Zaragoza - to the landscape and, Scenes of genre of eighteenth-century atmosphere, in small format paintings, following the fashion of the tableau, in full success in Europe during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Precisely with these themes and technique are defined the art and style of Pallares that will lavish until the last years of his life with economic success and obvious demonstration of virtuosity. The keys that explain his permanent dedication to this type of painting are in his initial learning in Madrid next to Vicente Palmaroli, connoisseur and cultivator of the style of Fortuny, in the later tie to the dealer Goupil, main promoter of the works of Fortuny, And in the same artistic environment that opportunely lived Pallares during his stays in Paris and Rome.
It can be said that Aragonese painters have been the most qualified representative of "fortunyism" as a pictorial style, whose main quality lies in the luminous color applied by Pallares with tiny and delicate brush strokes.
