Private Collector, Barcelona
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.
