Joan Daurer Explained

Joan Daurer (* unknown; † unknown) was a Catalan art painter and worked in Mallorca between 1358 and 1374. Daurer is recorded in historical records as a 14th-century church painter on the Spanish Balearic island of Mallorca. His works show the influence of his mentor Ramón Destorrents (1345-1362) from Barcelona.^{[1] [2] [3]}

Joan Daurer's Gothic painting reached Mallorca a goodly number of works of art, many of which are altarpieces. Some of these works of art are scattered in the monasteries, churches and parish or local museums, while other parts are kept in the Museum of Mallorca.

An important work is considered to be the pictorial panel of Santa Maria de Inca (Saint Mary of Inca) from 1373 in the parish church Santa Maria la Major of Inca.
