Antoni Caba

Antoni Caba i Casamitjana (1838 – 25 January 1907) was a Spanish painter who worked in the Realistic style and is best known for his portraits.

He attended the Escola de la Llotja during the 1850s, where he studied with Pau Milà i Fontanals and Claudi Lorenzale.

[citation needed] For a short time, he was enrolled at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied under the direction of the Swiss painter, Charles Gleyre.

[2] During this time, he dedicated himself to creating portraits for middle-class clients in Catalonia; especially Barcelona, for which he received the nickname "fotográficos".

In addition to his portraits, he created decorative murals in the Gran Teatro del Liceo and several private residences.
