Spanish, 1868–1919
Modest Urgell i Inglada was a Spanish painter and printmaker, recognized for his contributions to the Catalan modernist movement. He was born on March 12, 1868, in Barcelona and died on December 25, 1919, in the same city. Urgell studied at the Escola de Belles Arts de Barcelona and was influenced by the works of the Impressionists and Symbolists. His career spanned several decades, during which he became known for his landscapes and depictions of water, often characterized by a moody and atmospheric quality. Major works include 'La Riera' and 'El Mar', which showcase his mastery of light and color. Urgell's significance lies in his ability to blend traditional techniques with modernist themes, making him a key figure in the evolution of Catalan art during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
