Artist's biography: He began his artistic training with his cousin José Mongrell Torrent, a pupil of Sorolla and Pinazo. He studied at the School of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia, where he was named professor of preparatory studies in color and had the opportunity to demonstrate his well-grounded artistic culture. An academically oriented painter who stood out in Valencian subjects, mainly in the regional Valencian costumbrista painting, where he shows his mastery of chromaticism inherited from Valencian luminism, though somewhat attached to modernism, which gives him a more personal and brilliant style. He also excelled in portraits and in his work as a poster designer, highlighting some of the modernist-style posters for the Valencia Fair. Inspired by sorollismo, he specialized in figure subjects, especially those of Valencian costumbrista type; Bartolomé Mongrell developed a luminous language, Levantine impressionism, marked by color and light. Throughout his career he held solo exhibitions in important venues, such as the Layetanas Galleries of Barcelona, where his 1934 show stands out. He also dedicated himself to making posters, both advertising and institutional, highlighting his creations for the Grand Valencia Fair. Some of his works are in the Círculo de Bellas Artes of Valencia, the Museo de Bellas Artes de Valencia, the Museo de la Ciudad de Valencia, the Diputación and the Ayuntamiento of Valencia, and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de la Habana, as well as numerous private collections.
