Lorenzo Pericás

In 1894, he participated in the "Magna Exposición Provincia", organized by the local Sociedad Económica de los Amigos del País, where he competed with painters from throughout Spain.

He and other students from Casanova's academy walked away with a significant number of the medals and were given an article in La Ilustración Española y Americana.

He also did works for the Provincial Savings Bank and the Choral Society (which are now in private collections) and frescoes for the "Salón Imperio" at the casino as well as tapestries at the palace of the Counts of Gómez-Tortosa in Novelda.

[1] Always in poor health because of childhood illnesses, he began to suffer from a progressive disorder that affected his mobility.

He died at the age of forty-four in Alicante, and received a tribute at the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1912.
