ELISEO MEIFREN (Barcelona, 1857 - 1940)."View of the Port of Mallorca".Pastel and chalk on paper.Signed in the lower right corner.Measurements: 46 x 56 cm.; 72 x 92 cm. (frame).Painter of landscapes and seascapes, Eliseo Meifrèn is considered one of the first introducers of the impressionist movement in Catalonia. He began his artistic training at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, where he was a disciple of Antonio Caba and Ramón Martí Alsina, with whom he began to make romantic landscapes of academic invoice. After finishing his studies, in 1878, he moved to Paris in order to broaden his artistic knowledge, and there he got to know first hand the "plen air" painting, which would influence him powerfully in his Parisian landscapes of those years. Likewise, in Paris he coincided with the public beginning of impressionism. A year later he made a trip to Italy, during which he visited Naples, Florence, Venice and Rome; there he made contact with the circle of Catalan artists formed by Ramón Tusquets, Arcadio Mas i Fondevila, Enrique Serra, Antonio Fabrés and Joan Llimona, among others. That same year, 1879, he participated in the Regional Exhibition of Valencia, and won a gold medal. Once back in Barcelona, in 1880 he made his individual debut in the Sala Parés in Barcelona, where he continued to exhibit regularly since then. During these years he was part of the modernist group, and frequented Els Quatre Gats. In 1883 he returned to Paris, where he made numerous drawings and watercolors with views of the city and its cafés, which earned him a warm welcome from French critics and the French public. At the end of the eighties he returned to Barcelona and continued to show his work at the Sala Parés, as well as at the Centro de Acuarelistas. Also, in 1888 he was a member of the jury of the Universal Exhibition held in Barcelona. In 1890 he returned for the third time to the French capital, where he participated in the Salon des Beaux-Arts and in the Salon des Indépendants of 1892, together with Ramon Casas and Santiago Rusiñol, artists with whom he had formed the Sitges pictorial group a year earlier. In the following years Meifrèn would send his works to numerous official exhibitions and competitions, among them the National Exhibitions of Madrid and Barcelona, and was awarded the third medal at the Paris Universal of 1889 and 1899, silver medal at the Brussels Universal of 1910, grand prize at the Buenos Aires Universal of the same year, medal of honor at the San Francisco International of 1915 and grand prize at the San Diego International of the following year. He also won the Nonell Prize of Barcelona in 1935. In 1952, the Barcelona City Council dedicated a retrospective exhibition to him, held at the Palacio de la Virreina. His initial landscapes, characterized by an academic and romantic concept, would later evolve towards an impressionist language; abandoning the Roman preciosism, his would be a technique of loose brushstrokes and clear palette, in which the luminous conception approaches symbolist budgets, within the orbit of Modesto Urgell. He is currently represented in the Prado Museum, the National Art Museum of Catalonia, the MACBA in Barcelona and the Thyssen-Bornemisza, among many others.

Attributed to ARCADIO MÁS Y FONDEVILA (Barcelona, 1852-1934)"Woman with plates.Oil on canvas.Presents lack of paint and breakage in the upper left area.Measurements: 48 x 92 cm; 43 x 107 cm (frame).The author presents us with a voluptuous and suggestive image, conceived through the presence of a woman lying in a lush landscape. The lady is accompanied by several geese or swans, which she stares at, ignoring the viewer's gaze. Both the idea of the woman immersed in the landscape and the presence of the geese are elements typical of Arcadio Más's painting, as can be seen in several works that are part of the collection of the National Museum of Art of Catalonia.Painter and draftsman, founder of the luminist school of Sitges, Arcadio Mas i Fondevila was trained at the La Lonja School in Barcelona, where his teachers were Antonio Caba and Claudio Lorenzale. At the age of twenty he took part in his first collective exhibition, organized in the hall of the Artistic Association of Barcelona. In 1875 he won the first Fortuny scholarship from the City Council of Barcelona, which allowed him to further his studies by traveling to Italy as a boarder between 1876 and 1886. During these years, Arcadi Mas i Fondevila visited Venice, Rome, Naples and Capri, while participating in several group exhibitions at the Sala Parés in Barcelona. Ascribed to the Neapolitan naturalist school of Domenico Morelli, in 1885 he also participated in the exhibition of the Center of Watercolorists of Barcelona. On his return to Catalonia, his friend Joan Roig Soler encouraged him to visit Sitges, and from this meeting and acquaintance was born the luminist school of Sitges, a pictorial current that brought together other artists such as Joaquim de Miró, Antoni Almirall and Joan Batlle. In 1887 he participated in the National Exhibition of Fine Arts in Madrid, and won a medal for his work "Corpus Christi Procession in Sitges". He also participated in the Universal Exposition of Barcelona the following year, being awarded the first medal. In 1895 he travels again to Madrid, this time accompanied by Santiago Rusiñol and Zuloaga, and later he goes to Granada with Rusiñol, Miguel Utrillo and Macari Oller, with the intention of illustrating some articles of the first one for "La Vanguardia". Mas i Fondevila won two more medals at the Fine Arts Exhibitions in Barcelona in 1894 and 1896, and in 1899 he joined the Círculo Artístico de Sant Lluc. In 1900 he inaugurated the Rovira Salon in Barcelona with his first individual exhibition, a show that consecrated him as a master of pastel. An example of the relevance of this painter can be found in the fact that Picasso had copied one of his nudes from 1895. During this period, Mas i Fondevila also collaborated as a draftsman in "La Ilustració Catalana". Thanks to a donation from the American patron Charles Deering, in 1913 he painted the tympanum of the Santa Catalina portal of the church of San Bartolomé and Santa Tecla in Sitges. Today a copy can be admired "in situ", the original having been erased by the passage of time. In 1928 he was commissioned to paint one of the murals of the Sala de Sant Jordi in the Palace of the Generalitat in Barcelona, and in 1932 he exhibited again individually, this time in the Pinacoteca room. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of his death, the Sitgetan Studies Group dedicated an anthological exhibition to him at the Maricel Museum (1985). In his painting, Mas i Fondevila combined Catalan localism with his Neapolitan memories. He also worked on portraits, with outstanding works such as those of Antonio Caba and Pitarra. He is represented in the National Art Museum of Catalonia, the Maricel, the Cau Ferrat and the Sitges Town Hall, as well as in other museums and private collections.

* NEIL MACDONALD RSW RGI PAI,THE WHISTLE BLOWERpastel on paper, signed (Macdonald) and dated 95image size 45cm x 33cm, overall size 70cm x 57cm Mounted, framed and under glass.Note: Neil Macdonald has been the recipient of many awards including 2013 Elected RSW (Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour); 2013 Joe Hargan Award, Maclaurin Fine Art Exhibition, Ayr; 2013 Elected RGI (Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts); 2012 The Smithy Gallery Award (PAI); 2012 Diploma of the Paisley Art Institute; 2011 Robert Innes Award - Scottish Drawing Competition; 2009 Discerning Eye, London- Scottish Regional Winner; 2009 Charles Jamieson Award PAI; 2008 University West Scotland Award PAI; 2006 EDC Ann Stevenson Memorial Award; 2005 EDC Purchase Prize; 1997 Contemporary Art Prize (Eton) Paisley Art Institute; 1981 David Cargill Travelling Scholarship (Italy and Belgium); and 1979 William Shanks Painting Prize. Neil MacDonald trained at Glasgow School of Art from 1975 until 1980, where he developed his considerable skills as a painter and consummate draughtsman. He is drawn to locations that exert historic and mythic presence, exploring the lyrical narrative of natural sites and strong bold shapes of castles, old townships and harbours. He does this through distortion of perspective, invention and editing, aiming to capture an essence of the structure or place. Colour is used in an emotive way to heighten the sense of mood, applying each layer upon layer of paint in a divisionist manner until a unity of statement is realised as the image emerges, revealing the subject’s unique sense of place. A new UK auction record was established in the most recent Scottish Contemporary Art Auction when "First Light, St Abbs" (by Neil Macdonald) sold for £3000 (hammer) - lot 539 1st August 2021.Condition report: Condition is very good overall, with no visible signs of restoration, damage, or known issues.
