Together with Rusiñol, Casas was one of the
founding members of the Els Quatre Gats circle of
artists in Barcelona, and a leading
representative of the Catalan Modernista
movement. Casas abandoned his studies when he was
11 years old in order to pursue his vocation as a
painter. In 1882, aged sixteen, and with the
financial support of his father, he travelled to
Paris with Santiago Rusiñol. There he studied
under Carolus Duran and at the Académie Gervex,
where Eugène Carrière and Puvis de Chavannes
taught. His talent did not go unnoticed, and just
a year later he exhibited at the Salon des Champs
Elysées. In 1900 Casas held a solo show at the
Sala Parés in Barcelona, establishing him as the
leading Catalan portrait painter of the
day. Casas' mother purchased the monastery of
Sant Benet de Bages in 1907 and hired Puig i
Cadafalch to restore it. Casas would spend much
time there, and would repeatedly depict the
monastery and its surroundings. Five years later,
when his mother died, he inherited the monastery.
In 1913 he acquired an architecturally notable
home in Barcelona, a tower on Carrer de San
Gervasi (now Carrer de les Carolines). By the
1920s, Casas had fallen far away from the
avant-gardiste tendencies of his youth. If
anything, his work from this period looks like it
came from an academic painter of an earlier time
than his work of the 1890s. He continued painting
landscapes and portraits, as well as
anti-tuberculosis posters and the like, but by
the time of his death in 1932, shortly after the
emergence of the Second Spanish Republic, he was
already more a figure of the past than the
present.

Sala Sirenas Hotel España
Recognised as one of the masterpieces of ukiyo-e
style (pictures of the floating world) and
inspiring Japonism, a cultural and artistic
trend that invaded Europe in the second half of
the 19th century, The great wave off Kanagawa
served as inspiration to Ramon Casas, when it
came to decorating the walls of the Salón de las
Sirenas in Hotel España. When, at the beginning
of the 20th century, the architect Lluís Domènech
i Montaner began work to renovate the hotel, he
entrusted the painter Ramon Casas with the task
of decorating the dining room. Casas, who,
together with artist and writer Santiago Rusiñol,
was one of the main introducers of Modernism into
Catalonia, covered this rooms wall with a
spectacular recreation of a seabed halfway
between reality and fantasy, inhabited by
mermaids, Mediterranean fish, crustaceans and
cephalopods, on a background of light colours and
embossed waves.
