Abstract
The article is dedicated to recalling the life and mathematics of Louis Nirenberg, a distinguished Canadian mathematician who recently died in New York, where he lived. An emblematic figure of Analysis and Partial Differential Equations in the last century, he was awarded the Abel Prize in 2015. From his watchtower at the Courant Institute in New York, he was for many years a global teacher and master. He was a good friend of Spain.
