PIERRE-NAPOLÉON EUGÈNE RELIN French, 1837 - 1908 LIONESS AND CUBS signed and dated "E.

PROVENANCE Sotheby's London sale 25 March 2009, lot 312 Private Collector, Madrid French painter and engraver dedicated to genre and animal painting. It impacts this canvas by the realism and closeness that the artist presents to this lioness and her cubs, in the foreground, with a neutral background so as not to distract us from the main thing. The size of the animals contributes to this. It is perfectly captured the expression of the lioness, protective towards her little ones, aggressive. The puppies have a sweet and affectionate expression towards the mother. The color range goes in harmony from brown to light beige, with the force of an ambient light throughout the canvas, which is focusing mainly on animals. Pierre-Napoleon Eugene Relin was born on 1st December 1837 at Béziers , where he seems to lie down in the 1860s, the son of Nicolas Eugene Relin (1807-1878), a native of Saint-Die , watchmaker, and activist republican during the 1848 revolution; imprisoned under the presidency of Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte , he was to the end an ardent republican, a member of Nimoise Freemasonry. In Paris, Pierre-Napoléon Eugène is a pupil of Charles Jalabert and Antoine-Louis Barye .

    Located in Madrid, ES
    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 (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...
