The presence of Lluís Borrassà in public museums is growing: as the ARA has learned, the Generalitat has just purchased the "Martyrdom of Saint Lawrence" for 160,000 euros at the Artcurial auction house in Paris. That is to say, five times the starting price, which was between 30,000 and 40,000 euros. To the sale price, the auction house's commission must be added, so the final price is about 213,760 euros. The painting, which will go to the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC), belonged to the collection of Maxime Mazerand, in the Drôme, until the mid-eighties of the 20th century. Subsequently, through family succession, it ended up in a private collection in Marseille.
