Born in Paimbeuf on April 28, 1808, he spent his childhood in Brest, department of Finistère, and was then in Paris the pupil of Théodore Gudin, the first official painter of the French Navy, hence his love for seascapes. From his many travels: Brittany, Normandy, northern France, then England and the south and finally Italy in 1837, he brought back many paintings, lithographs, and a multitude of charming sketches and drawings on the theme of the navy. This gave him the opportunity to exhibit in many places, and in particular at the 1833 salon. In early 1840, he received an invitation from Tsar Nicholas I to come to Saint Petersburg for important work. Before leaving for Russia, he decided to get rid of 116 of his paintings and some engravings and lithographs during an auction which took place on the 27th and April 28, 1840 at 16 rue des Fasteurs in Paris (list available at the BNF). After his admission to the Academy of Fine Arts in Saint Petersburg on September 29, 1840, he was commissioned, among other things, for series of lithographs of views of the city. He was very well received: he was assigned apartments in each of the imperial family's summer residences, Peterhof and Tsarkoye Selo. Unfortunately, he did not take advantage of his stay... Indeed, in 1841, the September 28, after a year of intense lithographic production, he probably died of intestinal tuberculosis, a sequel to cholera caught in Brest a few years earlier. He was buried in Saint Petersburg. Many of his works were destroyed during the fire in Brest in 1944.

  • "Moonlit River Scene", Early 20th Century Oil on Canvas by Luis Graner y Arrufi
    By Luis Graner Y Arrufi
    Located in Madrid, ES
    LUIS GRANER Y ARRUFI Spanish, 1863 - 1929 MOONLIT RIVER SCENE signed and dated "L. Graner, 1925" (lower right) Oil on canvas 20-1/8 X 30 inches (51X 76 cm.) framed: 25-3/4 X 35-3/4 inches (65 X 90.5 cm.) PROVENANCE NEAL AUCTION COMPANY, New Orleans, LA, USA Private Collection, Barcelona Graner paints this work, Moonlit on the river, during his stay in the United States in the last stage of his artistic life, from 1910 to 1928, in full stage of maturity. This artwork reflects the constant search of the artist for the effects of light in his work. This persistent concern for light remains throughout his artistic life, which he learned in his Parisian stage under the influence of the painter Frances Platour. The silver light of the moon and the small lights at distance, which are tiny foci of artificial light, reflecting the river water, forming a chromatic range of greens, ocher and pearly that give a certain mystery to the composition, creating a modern approach to the landscape, by placing the two large trees at the edge of the river in the foreground Luís Graner y Arrufí, Spanish (1863–1929) was a Catalan painter in the Realistic style. He was born in Barcelona, and studied at the Escola de la Llotja from 1883, with Antoni Caba (color/composition) and Benet Mercadé (drawing). During his final year at school, he received a grant to study in Madrid, where he copied and learned from the Old Masters at the Museo del Prado. After that, supported by a fellowship, he moved to Paris and became a member of the Academie des Beaux-Arts. Later, he returned to Barcelona, but continued to travel to cities throughout Europe, including Berlin, Munich and Düsseldorf. Influenced by Richard Wagner's concept of "Gesamtkunstwerk" (Total Work of Art), he was motivated to create his own total art experience and organized the "Sala Mercè" (Mercy Hall) in Barcelona's Rambla District. The project involved contributors from every artistic discipline, including the new field of cinematography. The room was decorated by Antoni Gaudí. Other participants included Adrià Gual, Santiago Rusiñol, Ramon Casas...
