Isidre Nonell i Monturiol was a Catalan artist from Spain known for his expressive portrayal of socially marginalized individuals in late 19th-century Barcelona. He is considered to belong to the post-Modernista generation, with an often post-impressionist brushstroke but a darker tone than many of his contemporaries.

Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya
La Paloma is an oil on canvas painting by Catalan painter Isidre Nonell, created in 1904, which is exhibited at the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona. La Paloma, draped in burnt orange against a dark green background, faces away from the viewer as if in deep thought. In this painting, Nonell sharply accentuates her features and uses bold strokes to further define her.
