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 (51 x 76 cm.) framed: 25-3/4 x 35-3/4 inches (65 x 90.5 cm.) PROVENANCE Private Collection, Barcelona, Spain 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...

Glendun River in Northern Ireland, Oil on Canvas, Circa 1985, by 20th Century Irish Artist, Manson Blair. Art measures 16 x 12 inches Frame measures 20 x 16 inches A beautifully observed Irish landscape capturing the quiet beauty of the Glendun River, one of the celebrated Glens of Antrim in Northern Ireland. Bathed in soft natural light, the composition leads the eye gently along the tranquil river towards the rolling hills beyond, where subtle variations of greens, ochres and silvery blues evoke the ever changing atmosphere of the Irish countryside. Delicately painted winter trees frame the scene, while carefully rendered rocks and reflections bring a remarkable sense of depth, balance and serenity. Manson Blair demonstrates a refined command of realism, combining confident brushwork with an understated palette that perfectly captures the peaceful character of this unspoilt landscape.

Artist: Manson Blair Title: Glendun River, Northern Ireland Medium: Oil on Canvas Date: Circa 1985 Art Size: 16 × 12 inches (40.6 × 30.5 cm) Frame Size: 20 × 16 inches (50.8 × 40.6 cm) Condition: Presented in excellent condition and housed in an attractive gilt frame, ready to hang. This peaceful composition would make an exceptional addition to any collection of Irish landscape painting, offering a calming focal point and celebrating the timeless beauty of the Glens of Antrim. Nestled within the renowned Glens of Antrim, Glen Dun is celebrated for its unspoilt natural beauty, where rolling green hills descend through a secluded valley towards the dramatic Antrim coastline. Winding roads, ancient stone walls, rushing streams and native woodland create a landscape of remarkable tranquillity, while ever changing light and seasonal colour lend the glen an enduring sense of atmosphere. Less visited than some of its neighbouring glens, Glen Dun retains a peaceful, timeless character that has long inspired artists seeking to capture the quiet majesty and rugged beauty of Northern Ireland's countryside. Its combination of sweeping vistas, rich textures and serene isolation makes it one of the most picturesque and evocative landscapes in County Antrim. Born in 1947 near Ballyclare in Northern Ireland, Manson developed a passion for art early on in life. With a particular love for the Irish coastline, mountain ranges and lakes, Blair began his artistic career in earnest in the early 1970’s. His work has been influenced by great landscape artists such as Frank McKelvey...
