Enric Galwey

Enric Galwey i Garcia or, in Spanish, Enrique Galwey y García (1864 – 10 February 1931) was a Spanish painter, associated with the Olot school of landscape painting.

Biography He was born in Barcelona, son of a merchant of Irish descent. He began his studies at the Escola de la Llotja and, in 1885, went to Olot to perfect his technique with the landscape painter, Joaquim Vayreda. His first exhibition of watercolors in Barcelona came that same year.

In 1889, he decided that his paintings were a bit static and went to Paris to study the works of Rousseau, Corot, Millet and other members of the Barbizon school. His stay coincided with the first major Impressionist exhibition, which also had a significant influence on his style. From 1900 to 1926, the society held annual exhibitions at the Sala Parés. He was also an active member of the Cercle Artístic de Sant Lluc. He died in Barcelona.

In 1934, the Sala Parés published his brief memoir: El que he vist a can Parés en els darrers quaranta anys: memòries d'Enric Galwey.
