(b Tortosa, Tarragona, 1860; d Madrid, 12 Dec 1909). Spanish sculptor. He began his studies at an early age under the maker of religious images Ramón Cerveto. He moved to Barcelona in 1878, where he took lodgings with the painter José María Marqués and was apprenticed at the studio of Domingo Talarn ( fl 1838–91). Later he studied under the brothers Venancio (c. 1830–1919) and Agapito (d 1905) Vallmitjana y Barbany. Querol y Subirats also attended classes at the Escuela Provincial de Bellas Artes and frequented the dissection rooms of the Hospital de Santa Cruz. Some time after 1881 he moved to Madrid, where he successfully competed for a grant at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de S Fernando. He moved to Rome for three years and sent back work including Tulia Stepping over her Father’s Corpse, St Francis of Assisi Curing the Lepers (relief; both Madrid, Prado) and Tradition (bronze, Madrid, U.
