The Artist:
Victor Elford was a British landscape painter known both for his depictions of idyllic landscapes in England. Born in Devonshire, United Kingdom in 1911, Elford was largely self-taught. A pilot in the Royal Air Force during World War II, he was stationed in West Africa, during which time his work became more abstracted. Elford artist died in 2003. Today, his work can be found in the Plymouth City Museum and Art Gallery in Devon.
The Location:
Cliveden is an English Estate and Country House managed by the National Trust in Buckinghamshire, bordering Berkshire. The Italianate mansion, also known as Cliveden House, sits atop a ridge in the Chiltern Hills near the villages of Burnham and Taplow in South Bucks. Positioned above the River Thames, the main house overlooks the river, with its grounds cascading down towards it. The site has seen three iterations of houses: the original built in 1666, which burned down in 1795, followed by a second house in 1824, destroyed by fire in 1849. The current Grade I listed house was constructed in 1851 by architect Charles Barry for the 2nd Duke of Sutherland.
Over time, Cliveden has been inhabited by royalty and nobility, including a Prince of Wales, two Dukes, an Earl, and eventually the Viscounts Astor. Nancy Astor, wife of the 2nd Viscount Astor, made Cliveden the hub of the Cliveden Set during the 1920s and 1930s, a gathering of political intellectuals. In the early 1960s, while under the ownership of the 3rd Viscount Astor, it gained notoriety as the backdrop for key events of the Profumo affair. After the Astor family's departure, in the 1970s, it was leased to Stanford University, serving as an overseas campus. Presently, the house is leased to a company that operates it as a luxury five-star hotel.

- "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
