Baldomer Gili i Roig
Spanish painter (1873-1926)
Baldomer Gili i Roig (19 October 1873, Lleida – 31 December 1926, Barcelona) was a Spanish painter, draftsman and photographer.
Biography
His father was a teacher and editor. His brother, Gustau (Gustavo, 1868–1945), became the founder of Editorial Gustavo Gili, a major publishing company. In 1882, the family moved to Irun, where he began his first art lessons with José Salís Camino, a marine artist and follower of Camille Corot. Six years later, the family returned to Barcelona and he enrolled at the Escola de la Llotja. It was there that he came under the influence of the Sorollistas and brightened his palette.
In 1890, he decided to go to Madrid and enter the "Escuela Especial de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado", attending the classes of Alejo Vera, who he admired. Seven years later, he ventured to Munich to further his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts, but was obliged to return home a year later due to the political crisis occasioned by the beginning of the Spanish–American War. In 1899, he had his first exhibition at the Sala Parés.
The following year, he held his first showing in his hometown and, with the help of Jaume Morera, received a stipend from the local government to study in Italy.

Why this record matters
The phrase “spanish painter (1873-1926)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q11907672. VIAF identifies the subject as 33485070. The Library of Congress control number is n86123930. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1873, 1926, 1868 and 1945.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
