Charles Hunt, was the son of artist, Charles Hunt (1803-1877) and he was exposed to the world of art as seen through his father's eyes; he learned a lot about the genre style from Charles Sr. who frequently exhibited in private galleries until 1846, but it was not until Charles Sr. was about sixty that he presented his paintings to the Royal Academy of London; during his later years, the senior British artist painted humorous themes involving children performing in various play scenes such as police court or renditions of Shakespeare. From a rich artistic heritage derived through his father, Charles Jr. also began to paint genre scenes in a classical, traditional mode using realistic detailing.

- Oberwesel on Rhein Scenic Landscape 19th century British Master Oil PaintingLocated in Stockholm, SEPainting is signed “H. Gritten” in the lower center. Spectacular depiction of one of most picturesque town on the middle Rhein was painted in the mid-19th century by British artist Henry Gritten (1818 –1873) who traversed the world extensively in pursuit of capturing its beauty on canvas. This artwork with a magnificent combination of light, color and atmosphere of the story is a testament to his giftedness and talent. Careful attention to detail in the foreground, including human figures, a horseman, merchant ships with sailors, and architectural elements, brings the scene to life, thereby drawing the viewer into the subject depicted on the canvas. One cannot help but marvel at the way Gritten conveys depth and volume through his use of various shades and the subtle haze of perspective, creating a sense of distance and space that is captivating. The warm glow of the sunset on a hot sunny day further enhances the visual impact of the painting.

- "Moonlit River Scene", Early 20th Century Oil on Canvas by Luis Graner y ArrufiBy Luis Graner Y ArrufiLocated in Madrid, ESLUIS 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...Category
