Modest Urgell (Barcelona, 1839-idem, 1919) was a Spanish painter.
He studied at the Lonja School, where he was a disciple of Ramón Martí Alsina. He spent a season in Paris, where he dealt with Gustave Courbet, and subscribed to realism. In the 1860s his works were rejected as too advanced in the exhibitions organized at the Lonja, and he also exhibited unsuccessfully in Madrid. In 1870 he went to Olot, where he became acquainted with Joaquín Vayreda, creator of a landscape school in this city of La Garrocha who influenced Urgell, dedicating himself mainly to landscape since then. Between 1870 and 1880 Urgell spent time in Gerona, in contact with his youthful friend Rafael Masó Pagés.
He exhibited regularly at the Sala Parés since its foundation in 1877, and was successful in the national exhibitions in Madrid in 1876, 1892 and 1895, where he obtained the first medal with El Pedregal, a civilized town; he also won top decorations at the Barcelona exhibitions of 1894, 1896, and 1898, and participated in exhibitions in Philadelphia and Munich. Founder of the Artistic and Literary Society of Catalonia, since 1894 he was a landscape professor at La Lonja.
His work focuses mainly on solitary landscapes and seascapes, with a sad and mysterious atmosphere, often with locations in cemeteries and hermitages, in a style sometimes compared to that of Arnold Böcklin. He was quite successful in his time, with work at the MNAC, at the provincial museums of Gerona, Palma de Mallorca and Lugo, at the Kunsthalle in Hamburg, etc. He collected reproductions of a good part of his work in the album Catalonia (1905).
In 1902 he was appointed Academician of Fine Arts of 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...
