Emília Coranty Llurià (after marriage, Emília Coranty de Guasch; February 19, 1862 – February 18, 1944) was a Spanish painter and drawing teacher connected with Barcelona and Valls.
Emília Coranty Llurià was born in Barcelona. She acquired artistic training at a drawing school of the Provincial Deputation of Barcelona, at the Escola de la Llotja (1885-1887), and at the Reial Acadèmia Catalana de Belles Arts de Sant Jordi (1886-1888). During a study trip to Rome, she met her future husband, the painter Francesc Guasch (1888-1923). The couple married in 1888, and Emília presented some of her works at the 1888 Barcelona Universal Exposition.[1]
The following year, she moved to Paris, and then went to exhibitions all over the world. In 1893, she was awarded the silver medal,[2] of the women's pavilion at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, where she exhibited alongside Mary Cassatt and Rosa Bonheur. In 1895, she exhibited at the Exposition de Bordeaux (1895).
She served as a teacher at the Escola de la Llotja[3] and campaigned all her life for women to have quality artistic training.
