RICARDO OPISSO I SALA (Tarragona, 1880 - Barcelona, 1966)."Three friends".Pencil on paper.Signed and titled in the lower right corner.Size: 25 x 19 cm; 48 x 40 cm (frame).Opisso was a painter, draughtsman and cartoonist. In his youth he took part in the modernist environment of Barcelona, and in fact in 1894 he began to work as an apprentice with Antoni Gaudí in the works of the Sagrada Família. Two years later, backed by the architect, he became a member of the Círculo Artístico de Sant Lluc, with whom he would later exhibit at the Sala Parés. He was linked to the group Els Quatre Gats, together with Ramon Casas, Manuel Hugué, Isidre Nonell and Pablo Picasso, among others. In 1901 he made a trip to Paris, where Picasso and Hugué were already there. He worked as an illustrator in publications such as "Cu-cut!" and "L'Esquella de la Torratxa", signing drawings aimed at political satire, in a style close to art nouveau. In 1907 he took part in the Fine Arts Exhibition in Barcelona and was awarded a third-class medal. Due to the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera, Opisso abandoned political satire and his drawings moved towards genre themes, specialising in popular scenes. His works from this period are characterised by the presentation of motley crowds of people in popular Barcelona settings. After exhibiting several times in succession at the Sala Parés, he held his first solo exhibition in 1935 at the Syra galleries in Barcelona. During the post-war period he continued to exhibit in various galleries in Barcelona, and reaped considerable success with both critics and the public. In 1953 he received recognition from his home town at the 4th Tarragona Art Fair. Most of his work is kept in the Opisso Museum in Barcelona, but it is also present in the National Art Museum of Catalonia and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Strasbourg. In terms of exhibitions, the one held at the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in 2004 under the title "Catalan Painting, from Naturalism to Noucentisme", in which his work "Carnival" was exhibited, is particularly noteworthy. He has also had anthological exhibitions at the Saló del Tinell (1979), the Palau de la Virreina (1980), the Barcelona International Boat Show (1973), the Fundació La Caixa (1988, 2004, 2008) and the Caixa Tarragona (2003).

He later became a teacher at the latter and, when the institution's teaching was broken up, he became a professor at the San Jorge School of Fine Arts. He was a member of the Real Círculo Artístico, and made his debut at the Sala Parés in 1928. From then on he was to repeat his presence in the Sala La Pinacoteca, as well as taking part in the Salones de Otoño and the Spring Exhibitions in Barcelona, among other competitions and exhibitions.

MODEST URGELL INGLADA (Barcelona, 1839 - 1919)."Rural Landscape with a Figure.Oil on panel.Signed in the lower left corner.Size: 20 x 38 cm; 49 x 66 cm (frame).The defining attributes that marked Modest Urgell's artistic personality coincide in this painting: a rural setting in a solitary spot, a sublime and romantic palette with which the Barcelona master immortalised the magic of the twilight hour, and the marked horizontality that defined his production.Modest Urgell began his career as a theatrical actor, but his family's prohibition against pursuing that path led him to devote himself to painting. He studied at the Escuela de La Lonja in Barcelona, where he was a disciple of Ramón Martí Alsina, and later spent some time in Paris, where he came into contact with Gustave Courbet and became a follower of realism. During the 1960s his works were rejected at the official exhibitions in Madrid and Barcelona. In 1870 he moved to Olot, where he became acquainted with Joaquín Vayreda, the creator of the local landscape school. From then on Urgell decided to devote himself fully to landscape painting. His work focused on solitary natures and seascapes, often featuring hermitages and cemeteries, marked by a twilight, desolate and mysterious atmosphere. From 1896 he taught landscape painting at the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, and was appointed an academician in 1902. He was also the founder of the Artistic and Literary Society of Catalonia and of the Artistic and Archaeological Museum of Girona. He took part in all the editions of the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid from 1864 until the year before his death, and was awarded the second medal in 1876 and 1892. He also sent his paintings to the Barcelona exhibitions, as well as to the Universal Exhibition in Paris and the international exhibitions in Munich, Brussels, Berlin, Philadelphia and Chicago. In 1892 he was awarded prizes in all the competitions in which he took part, including the Brussels competition, in which he was the only Spaniard to win a prize. He also devoted himself to literature, with a special interest in the theatre. The sum of his two passions, art and literature, are expressed in his album "Catalunya" (1905), made up of more than a hundred drawings accompanied by texts written by himself. His landscapes have an atmosphere, colour and themes that deny the stereotype of the Mediterranean landscape, based on warm and friendly natures, with brilliant chromaticism, like windows open to southern sensuality. His paintings, on the contrary, speak of melancholy and solitude, and time and again recreate a desolate and sad Catalonia to which, years later, the poet Salvador Espriu would also be sensitive. His language rejects any fanciful or picturesque subject matter, taking up ordinary subjects without attempting to ennoble or idealise them, but rather seeking to provoke states of mind in the viewer through twilight that dissolves, for brief moments, in a harmony of reds, or his desolate cemeteries and severe, bare, stripped seascapes. Urgell is represented in the Prado Museum, the National Art Museum of Catalonia, the Maritime Museum of Barcelona, the Kunsthalle in Hamburg, the Víctor Balaguer Museum in Vilanova i la Geltrú, the Caixa Sabadell and Caixa d'Estalvis de Terrassa Art Funds, the Dalí Museum in Figueras and the Provincial Museums of Gerona, Palma de Mallorca and Lugo, among many other centres and institutions.

She made her individual debut at the Syra gallery in Barcelona, and later held others at the Nonell and Parés galleries in the same city, as well as taking part in various group exhibitions. She also took part in official exhibitions, winning several prizes, and was president of the 9th and 10th editions of the Salón Femenino de Arte Actual. In 2000, Núria Llimona received the Sant Jordi Cross, and in 2006 she was awarded the Barcelona Medal of Honour.

He began his studies at the School of Arts and Crafts in Manresa, and then furthered his training at the Sant Jordi School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, where he was taught by J. Calvo. He also studied in the studio of Salvador Alarma, with whom he became a collaborator and partner years later, with the firm Alarma y Mestres (1939). When Alarma died in 1942, he was commissioned to decorate several Wagnerian works for the Teatro del Liceo, and then moved to his scenographic workshop until 1956. His decorations stood out for their realism and good knowledge of perspective, and as an easel painter he held several exhibitions in Barcelona and Madrid. Between 1947 and 1969 he taught perspective at the Institut del Teatre in Barcelona, and was later appointed professor of the subject at the Escola de Sant Jordi. During his career he was awarded the silver medal of the Diputació de Barcelona, the gold medals of the city of Manresa and of the Gran Teatre del Liceu Society, and the Gold Poster of the Consortium of the Liceu.

JOSÉ PINEDA GUERRA (Alicante, 1837 - Barcelona, 1907)."Corbeta Magdalena".Watercolour on paper.Signed in the lower left corner.Frame with dirt. Moisture stains.Some faults in the painting.Size: 34 x 50 cm; 44 x 59 cm (frame).José Pineda was a shipwright and watercolourist, specialised in the painting of ships, son of a sailor from Alicante. He sailed from an early age, and in fact his wife also came from a family connected with shipping, as she was the daughter of a family of shipowners. Around 1871 he settled in Barcelona, where he specialised in painting, as portraits, the most famous vessels of the time, both sailing ships and steamships. Most of his paintings, which are of great documentary importance, are of Catalan sailing ships, although he also painted some foreign-flagged vessels. They were generally intended for the decoration of the offices of Barcelona shipping companies. Little is known of his exhibitions, although there is documentation of an exhibition of his work in the San Sebastián building in Barcelona in 1877. He painted almost always in watercolour, developing a language of precise drawing and descriptive brushstrokes, with boats minutely portrayed in all their details, especially the rigging, set on a deep blue sea (the quality of his blues is outstanding), with long waves, adorned with seagulls flying at water level. His style was continued by the Marseille painter Pellegrin. Pineda also practised naval modelling, a discipline in which he was awarded a diploma and bronze medal at the Universal Exhibition in Barcelona in 1888 for his frigate "Hijas de Pineda", which had taken him eighteen years to build. Pineda is currently represented in the Maritime Museum and Nautical School of Barcelona, the Planas Collection in the Balearic Islands and in various private collections.
