Sculptor Quintín Torre belonged to the 'noucentiste generation', which produced works that ranged between realism and idealism. He trained initially at the School of Arts and Crafts in Bilbao and at the workshops of Serafín Basterra, and obtained several grants that enabled him to travel and round out his education in Barcelona, Paris and Italy. In his youth and middle age he was associated with more novel approaches close to social themes, but his work later evolved towards a more classical style linked to the Italian Renaissance and to Castilian polychrome religious sculpture. In 1955, he joined the Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid.
